My garden has yielded quite a bounty so far this season: swiss chard, green beans (both of these, several times), leeks, fennel, more cucumbers than I can eat, thyme, rosemary, parsley, chives, tarragon, tons of basil. Nasturtium flowers, which we had on our appetizer plates last night.
And the tomatoes!
We had caprese salad last night, and I used the basil from the many basil plants I have, and five different types of tomatoes from my raised beds: New Girl, a basic red tomato, San Marzano, a plum tomato, Valencia, a yellow-orange heirloom, Green Zebra, another heirloom with green stripes, and a yellow cherry tomato. Fresh mozzarella from Vermont, Mediterranean sea salt and unfiltered extra virgin olive oil from California. Dana and I will be eating caprese salads for the rest of the summer.
And for lunch today: Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches. Glorious.
Oh, and I had a visitor this morning:

What a great garden Denise, it looks sooo lush and beautiful. Love your visitor, it's a good thing you do not eat frog legs or you & Dana would really be living off the land.
