Summertime……
the dips in the pool, kids being out of school- the “Mom’s she’s bothering me.”, Suntans, sunburns, mini trips to museums and the beach – they are all things I love about summertime but favorite thing has to be all the fresh fruits and vegetables that are available to eat. We have a 3 row raised garden bed that we have started this year.
We used recycled materials to make our beds. This is just a wire bed frame.
Our three strawberry plants
Here is the beginnings of our watermelon.
It got really big but Raul cut it before I could get a picture of it.
We planted tomatoes, squash, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, cabbage,
cilantro, watermelon, melons, and strawberries.
Here are some of my favorite recipes we use for the summer:
Salsa To Die For

Cilantro

You can see it in the white dish. You can either eat it with tortilla chips or in a taco.
