Greened Out and Seeing Colors.

Okay... here we go, crop round #2. Zuchinni and peppers have started to show their presence at the Little Brick-e garden centre. However, I gotta say, I am greened out. Totally greened out. Those red tomatoes, which are just orange, at this moment, are calling my name. The purple egg plant flowers look great and I channel my brother in law, Tom, to try and get the squash flowers fried up this weekend. Hmmm.. not too much experience frying, so should be interesting. The big find, however, was the bush of rasberries in the alley down the street. Bup and I found them a few days ago, and Natalia and I sneak over there and take off any rasberries that grow over the fence into the alley. We take our little white bowl and work our picking magic. We have many, many champagne rasberries but their fragility keep up wanting for more. The other fun thing is that we have strawberries making their ways into our plates when we are lucky enough to beat the squirrels or robins to them in the morning. Most morning, we are not up early enough. This early bird is not getting the worm. Menu planning for the next garden meal will have to be zuchinni and pepper over a bed of greens topped with farmer's market eggs with rasberries for dessert. I am hoping to find some good looking brocolli and grains tomorrow at the farmer's market. The Landfears and our neighbors have fruit trees ready to bloom so delights and our fine firefighters have a pear tree filled with pears ready for the eating outside the siren doors. Tomorrow Bup and I will be on an early adventure to snag some of those.
