We got over 2 inches of rain on Friday, but it came too late to save most of my garden. We still have some tomatoes, but most of them are cracked or rotting in the bottom. The green beans are still going strong, but since I only had about 2 dozen plants come up, that doesn't make for very many beans.
I picked the last of the zucchini yesterday. Today, I decided to use some of the garden produce to make Ratatouille. The new potatoes are actually from the Farmer's Market, and not our garden. I used them instead of eggplant, because we are fresh out. I also added garlic, because...why not?
We ate it for dinner with some Italian bread - delicious AND beautiful!
I picked some of the sunflowers growing in the garden. They at least have seemed to thrive in the dry weather. The brown one is called "teddy bear."
Our new lawn tractor with rototiller attachment is on order, so we will be able to till the garden well this Fall, and try again next year.
