Here’s a great recipe to use up those imperfect looking, albeit delicious tomatoes and some of your summer basil. 1/2 cup chopped scallions
The day before yesterday, I made my first batch of pickles from my brother Bob’s recipe that I posted a few days ago.

My brother Bob has been working on his pickle recipe for years. He generously gave me a quart of them a year ago, and I had [...] It’s Monday. A new week begins.

I harvested more broccoli again today. The seven plants have produced so much that I’m getting really tired of broccoli. As long as I keep picking off the florets, the plants will keep producing. I picked enough yesterday for two meals for us. The good thing is that because it’s fresh, it’ll keep [...] Companion gardening is a terrific way to prevent many types of problems, but it also is a way to enhance your vegetable garden in many ways.
