I live for when the garden suddenly goes crazy, and oh so many treats are waiting for me in the garden. Fresh onions? Jalapeno peppers? Fresh Cilantro? Soon even my tomatoes! (Although I was bitter that I lost my entire wintered over Garlic crop this summer. Not sure why, but I am feeling it was because of the unusual winter.) Still….it’s summertime and I am enjoying my garden’s bounty!
