THAT’S ALL FOR NOW
What have you been making with the bounty from your garden? Do you have any recipes to share?
I am hoping to salvage at least 1 tomato plant from the deer. They are so greedy and hungry they recently at 6 ghost pepper plants and the peppers. Speaking of gardens, does anyone know when you harvest sweet potatoes?

Thanks so much for the recipe dear Elizabeth – I’m off to marinate my bowl of cherry tomatoes from next door neighbor’s garden – he shares with me! He’s actually coming for supper with his lady tomorrow so I will serve them some along with fresh mozzarella and the pasta dish I’m planning.
Stay cool – and dry, rain coming this way!
