More good food

One day while chatting in the library we looked outside and noticed something exciting!

Red peppers

Our peppers started to turn red!  I had been wondering if I had enough patience to let them turn red – I picked one green just to see how hot it was, and then kept my fingers crossed that they would ripen quickly once I confirmed they were indeed tasty and spicy.  We have a few Roma tomatoes ripening as well, so the garden is not a complete wash, though I had to pull the lettuce that went to seed, and we never did see any peas, eggplant, broccoli rab or strawberries.  Next year we are planning to do raised beds and haul in new soil like our friend Katie, who’s had a bumper crop in a very small space.

In the mean time, we enjoyed heirloom tomatoes with basil from the farm share for Friday dinner (plus mozzarella, and some brie with crackers), while we watched Project Runway (recorded).

You can see our other bounty in the background – summer squash, new potatoes, more basil, more tomatoes, zucchini and corn.  Fresh produce is colorful this time of year!
