ok. I’m writing this as the cookies i’ve wanted to bake for a long time is baking. Soon, folks you will have Oatmeal Cookies with Stuff. so at some point in this many part series about the summer happenings (usually with food), the recipe and photos will be posted.
This summer seems like it wasn’t long enough. with snow falling in june and still snowboarding in july, it seems to me that i was more keen on getting the summer foods than climbing. i really don’t have an excuse. i’m not injured or injured. i just wanted the garden to actually start doing something (since the teaser was the garlic shoots).
So,with gusto, i started browsing the recipes i would use for canning and general eating. then came up with none…except a pickling recipe that my friend uses for all his veggies (thanks, lenny!) and that we have sampled last year.
first up on the docket..the garden.. fooled ya, didn’t i? well, tough luck.
we spent a bit of time two summers ago making our garden plot and through the nice stretches of winter (in january and february)

well, Plot 1 has some grapes and some raspberries and some garlic. what i really wanted to get going this year was the tomatoes and some herbs (mainly mint and sage….what for? mojitos and roasted stuff) so here’s some photos form mid summer (really that’s around mid-july)

Hopefully, we’ll get a decent harvest this year.
just a note, the grape will probably take another year or two before they fruit.
