Grisham Garden Part 1
We just got back from the river and before I knew it, Andy was out running the tiller through the garden. We were expecting rain Friday and just didn't happen. The ground is getting pretty dry.
When we planted the lettuce, spinach and radishes; heavy rains came through later that night and a few of the seeds were washed into the middle of the row. I pulled what came up before Andy turned them under and ended up with a pretty good salad!
It's not as pretty as what we will be fixing when the tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots and squash come in. Wait a minute! I just remembered there's some fresh cilantro that popped back up from last year! That might make it even better!
Spaghetti squash...can't wait to cook this and twist the strands out and serve up with some homemade spaghetti sauce!
Sunflower seeds. I have a row with several varieties. The birds go nuts!
Green beans. The real thing canned is a job, but they're so much better than
what you buy in the store.

Cherry tomatoes, Bradley Heirloom and Romas. Cherry's for salads;
Roma's for canning whole, sauces and juice; and Bradley for sandwiches.
