I love having a garden (especially since my better half is so much better at looking after it than I would be on my own). It’s great saying to yourself “I need some lettuce for this sandwich” or “This pizza needs some thyme” and then walking out in the backyard and picking some.
Now, this weekend, we had our first harvest and first fully garden-made meal: borscht, from some of the biggest beets I’ve ever seen. We’ve still got peppers, pumpkins, peas, carrots, and even some corn that’s starting to come up, so the rest of the month is shaping up to me more great meals like this one.
