Mini Harvest

We planted a small garden this year. Our first since moving to New York. Although it's kind of a random assortment of vegetables — cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers, some kind of hot peppers, and lots of herbs — it has been wonderful to watch it grow and have the kids help me tend it.

I can't say we were dedicated gardeners. Weeding and watering happened sporadically at best and we never did add any fertilizer. But the earth of New York is apparently made to grow things. And we have a handy little harvest despite the neglect.

Handy enough that I keep needing to give baskets of vegetables away. But I had to take a picture first because the little harvest looks so yummy and wholesome sitting there on the kitchen counter.
