How Does Our Garden Grow . . .

 So far, the annual summer garden is progressing pretty well. My husband puts a lot of work into it but also enjoys the process. We've already been deluged with cucumbers and green beans which saves us a few pennies off the shopping list. They taste better than the store produce, too. The tomatoes are making themselves known and I foresee a lot of chopping, slicing, freezing and drying with them before the summer is over. I still have a bag in the freezer from last year which is going to be turned into pasta sauce to make room in the freezer for the next harvest. We are growing eggplant this year for the first time and look forward to seeing how much difference there is between homegrown and store-bought types.
