\"Pesto,<\/a>

Pesto, roasted vegetables, cucumbers with dill.<\/p><\/div>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on with us these days. Work, weeding, some swimming, and lots of great eating.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a mega-garden. Really, the only things I put up in any quantity for winter are tomatoes (slow-roasted, canned, frozen, plus chili sauce and tomato conserve), garlic, and easy-keeping winter squash. Otherwise, we eat it up as the summer winds down into fall.<\/p>\n

This summer is a little thin, to tell the truth. NO eggplant, no peppers. Tomatoes still green, which is very worrisome given my heavy reliance on them all winter and the fact that they take up about a third of my space. I used space that would be zucchini now for the eggplant, so that corner\u2019s a total bust.<\/p>\n

\"All<\/a>

All gone!<\/p><\/div>\n

The peas were great, but now gone. I actually forgot to plant carrots, but have parsnips and beets doing nicely. Garlic and onions all fine. We\u2019re still eating romaine lettuce and volunteer arugula, as well as a mesclun mix that features some tough-looking and tough-tasting leaves. \u00a0There\u2019s always lamb\u2019s quarters if we\u2019re short on salad greens. \u00a0Delicata squash is coming, despite skirmishes with squash bugs. I planted beans late so they wouldn\u2019t be coming in till after vacation in mid-August. I think they\u2019ll be ready when we get back.<\/p>\n

And we have great herbs.<\/p>\n

Herbs bring me to our fall-back meal: Roasted vegetables, salad and pesto. My definition of pesto is very loose. Last night\u2019s was a small nub of pecorino-romano cheese, some fresh garlic, olive oil and two big handfuls of parsley and basil, with highlights of green coriander seeds (AKA gone-to-seed cilantro) and mint. I skip the nuts entirely. Serve with beets and parsnips (they need thinning), roasted with an onion and some more of the garlic\u2026 bon appetit!<\/p>\n

I wish we could produce our own olive oil\u2026now THAT would be great.<\/p>\n
