July photos

No pictures of the garden, just of the bounty of the garden: potatoes! What a surprise this was (even though we planted them, neither one of us expected that they would really grow!). Look at how happy Anne is with our 2 1/2 pounds of red potatoes. They were delicious and very, very special.

We also got beans, both green and purple. These have been fabulous, and I've really enjoyed making a green bean and potato salad with a mango yogurt dressing (last night with a cumin yogurt dressing!) from Moosewood Low Fat Favorites Recipes, one of our favorite cookbooks. Here's a link to the Moosewood Restaurant site, if you're interested.

This has been the best garden year yet!

  1. You've harvested potatoes already?! Good for you! Our purple and green beans were delicious this year, too. Yay for productive and rewarding gardens!

  2. Yes, the little red potatoes were ready early. The Yukon Gold were ready recently. We have one more potato "bin" to empty-we go the ones from Gardener's Supply. We didn't get as many potatoes as we had hoped but it was wonderful to get any.
    A good year for gardens, especially after last year.
    Nice to know others are enjoying purple and green beans, too.
