Bounty

Here’s a sampling of some of the produce we picked from The Bee garden one evening.

There’s basil, chives, cherry tomatoes, regular size tomatoes and green beans. There’s more of the same on the way as well as eggplant, cucumbers and arugula.

It makes me proud to know I can grow healthy, fresh produce for the dinner table. As we sat at dinner and ate a salad last night, I pointed out the tomatoes and chives were from the garden. Just knowing that made them taste even better than they already did!
