The Chioggia is next!


We made a salad the other day with our cucumbers, tomatoes and store bought onions (need to grow these too), added a generous dash of ranch dressing and ooh-lala it was so so good! The J-man calls it his 'Ghetto Garden Salad' because it's so haphazardly put together.

Salads are so refreshing in the summer! LOVE!

  9. I love eggplants but for some reason most people don't like it esp kids. It's like "old people" food to them. The Armenian cucumber looks like bittergourd.
