This is the newest photo of my garden. That fence is about 6′ high, just to give you an idea of how tall my tomato plants are.
The tomatoes & cucumbers aren’t ready yet but the broccoli is, as are the green beans & snow peas.
I had a great meal planned for tonight. It was going to be spaghetti with vegetables from the garden. I picked all the green beans, snow peas, broccoli and loaded up on the basil, parsley & oregano. I washed everything, cut everything up and threw it into a pan to stir fry them with a whole bunch of garlic & olive oil. It smelled like heaven. You were all going to be treated to a gorgeous photo of the finished meal.
Then I saw it. (Dramatic music inserted here.) There was something wiggling in the pan. Apparently I didn’t do too good a job washing off my vegetables. I freaked out. I despise bugs of any kind. I am certain he had lots of friends in there along with him. The entire pan was dumped into the garbage. The kitchen garbage was immediately put outside because no way was I going to chance anything climbing out. Lucky thing I still have a freezer full of leftovers.
That’s a sad story.
That’s an amazing garden!
My mouth was watering as you described what you were cooking. Until the critter. I don’t do critters either. Sorry he ruined your meal!
Have I mentioned lately how happy I am that you’re back?
You are a country girl at heart. If you lived here you would have enough room to plant a garden big enough to store vegetables for all winter…if you wanted to do that. Right now we are trying to figure out whether it is the rabbits or the deer that have taken a liking to our garden.
I guess the little critter wanted to add some protein to your dinner
Right now our critter problems are with rabbits eating my herbs and squirrels digging up my flowers
