This is a first for 2011, a dinner where nothing comes from the grocery store, well everything from the garden but the olive oil. Fresh beans, yum! From a bush bean that was started by someone else, will have to find out what it is, because it is firm and flavorful. Sripey tomato was fine, could use some more heat in the garden but it is ripe so no complaints. Trombocini sauted with herbs and garlic from the garden. I didn't harvest my own salt so there are 2 things from my all garden dinner that I did not grow or harvest.
For September I have purple potatoes growing, new lettuce, peas have not sprouted yet, but I am hopeful. The parsnips are up and a few carrots. I seeded heavily so now I have to thin the rows, very hard for me to pull out the little starts! I think the russet potatoes have finished flowering and when the leaves wilt I will dig them up and store them or have a french fry party.
A disappointment is my hubbard squash. I have 3 and they are only about 6 inches and I will be surprised if they grow more this year. I'll leave them in the ground until it is cold so maybe they will be big enough for a bowl of soup. Fall gardening will be interesting....
