It's been a long time since Jim and I have had a "real" vegetable garden. For many years now, we've been making do by growing a few tomatoes and herbs in large pots, but the urge to spread out and go with some larger crops could not be denied. Our friend, Jerry, came to the rescue and offered us some of his garden space — including this lovely raised bed — for the summer.

A bit of weeding and a lot of waiting are starting to pay off. The past week we've been in harvest mode for corn and green beans,

and looking forward to tomatoes, and potatoes. One of Jim's clients gave him an wild assortment of heirloom tomatoes that we can't wait to taste.

Eating our fresh veggies has been a treat, and fired up our cooking mojo. Thanks for the land loan, Jerry — we're diggin it!
