Happy 4th of July to all who choose to celebrate! The heat is starting to crank up the garden progress. We are already ahead of last year….or so I hope.

PB’s strawberries (that I was very skeptical of) are actually producing fruit. And she stated they were DELICIOUS. If these plants survive the summer I may actually try to over-winter them with some straw.

The main garden has produced a single (and beautiful) large jalapeno. I plan to dice this up for taco night this coming week. Not all my family members like jalapeno but maybe they will try a tiny bite that doesn’t have seeds.

Now I am off to shoot some fireworks with Jellybean and my Dad because we are ALL children when it comes to the 4th. Also, hopping for a really good and properly cooked s’mores

Happy 4th!!
