 Our Little Garden!

                                                     Tomatoes
                                                
                                                         Plus

                                                        Basil

                                                     Equals

                     A crazy amount of produce for two people this summer!

We have a very shaded back yard and have never had any luck when it comes to gardening.  This summer we are trying potted veggie plants.  Last night we got a little over excited and planted SIX tomato plants and some basil (and a catnip plant for our kitten)!  We'll see how it goes. . . :)

I'm already thinking to the food we can enjoy from these plants.  So far, my list includes:
  • salsa
  • margarita pizza
  • caprese salad
  • bruschetta
  • blt sandwiches
  • grilled cheese and tomato
  • caprese quiche
  • spaghetti sauce
Now all I have to do is wait four to six weeks for the first 'maters.
