Sorry Tauna for showing off my garden veggies when you
haven't had decent weather to even plant your garden yet.
My Garden has done wonderful this year
compared to the last few years.
This salad was so easy.
Just boil your favorite pasta.
Drain and while it is still hot pour your favorite Italian dressing
over the top and stir it in and then let it continue to cool off.
Chop into small pieces your favorite garden veggies.
I was so excited to finally have broccoli grow in my garden.
I've planted it the last few years but have never had it bloom.
So I added my broccoli, yellow summer squash,
green bell pepper, red onion, and cucumber.
The onion was the only thing I didn't grow.
Add the veggies to the cool pasta and then refrigerate
until cold. Enjoy!
so I had Anna stand beside it so we could tell how big it has gotten!
They haven't started turning red yet but this one will make
wonderful fried green tomatoes!
There are tomatoes just covering all 5 plants.
They have gotten so heavy they were falling over and so we have had to stake them qnd tie them up.
We have also had an abundant supply of cucumbers.
I've been making lots of zucchini bread.
10 loaves yesterday to give to my V/T sisters.
We never get tired of yellow squash cooked with Vidalia onions.
I also cooked a head of cabbage from my garden
yesterday but forgot to take a picture of it.
We have really enjoyed our fresh veggies and
feel very blessed to have had such a good garden this year.

It seems unreal that your garden is that advanced! Many people haven't been able to plant yet because of the huge amount of rain and snow we've had in the west!
That tomato plant is really a tomato tree and that tomato is huge! I'm amazed that you have such a green thumb! Way to go!
I am soooo envious...you have all the veggies I love. I make my pasta salad pretty much the same way..but always wait until it cools before adding the dressing...I will have to try it your way and add it while hot. My tiny little garden will not come in until Aug.
I'm with Connie - I cannot believe you are already harvesting from your garden when we haven't even been able to plant one yet. Wow!
Looks delish though :-D
I am hungry now! Nothing better on a hot summer evening than pasta salad with fresh veggies. We love Paula Deen's squash and Vidalia onion casserole. I've eaten zuchinni bread but have never made it. Anna is a sweet model for your healthy tomato plants. Hope you have a good evening Gigi.
Your garden is doing amazing!!!!!
OK!
That's it!
We are officially fighting!
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
OK, I'm better.
I wasn't jealous over the camera thing, but I am absolutely GREEN with envy.
The veggies look so beautIFUL! I can almost smell them.
I really will try to get over it. You are going to laugh so hard when I take a picture of the pathetic garden I put in this week. It's been so cold, that we are chicken to plant this week even.
When were you able to plant? I'm pretty sure there is a For Sale going up in my front yard soon. I won't worry about finding another place though, I'm just moving into your garden.
I love it by the way.
(and you too!)
Oh, and those pictures were taken with the new camera huh?
Yes, Tauna, they were taken with my new camera! Cute, huh?
Those are amazing garden shots. Our spring is so late my friends are just now planting tomatoes and will be lucky to have any harvest at all. :-) The vegetables look great too. Of course, you have a pretty model to show how big the plants are. Nice post.
That looks wonderful! I can't wait till my little backyard farm starts producing. I have tomatoes on all three plants, but they're still small yet.
In the meantime, I'm learning how to make pickles for when my little pickle plants get going. Mmmm! Love pickles!
Yummy! I haven't figured out how to grow things down here yet. Mostly because I can't wrap my brain around needing to plant in Feb. before the heat comes. My neighbor however, has been supplying us with fresh veggies. If you can't grow 'em, live by someone who can!
I'm so impressed with your garden--wow. I have a brown thumb. I should just grow zucchini because then I would have SOMETHING ; )
your garden looks/sounds great!
I just checked out your blog (which I do daily) and saw your garden produce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You defineatly have a green thumb! I don’t think Ive ever seen such produce! Wish I was there to indulge. We spent the weekend huddled under Sherrys patio watching it rain and hail. Still too cold to even think about planting. Wishing for better weather soon.
Love you and miss you.

I'm not a gardener, but I think everyone in UT is ticked because they haven't been able to even plant!
My favorite pasta salad
If you an imagine, I have never had fried green tomatoes.
I know I KNOW! pathetic!
