Suanne and John's Backyard Garden: Look at how the garden grows

Welcome to my Blog

Hi, my name is Suanne and I am writing this blog to share some of the tips and recipes I have learned or created with our backyard garden. The garden itself is actually my husband John's but we have had a garden for over 25 years so I have picked up some garden knowledge along the way. We live in Austin, Texas so we are blessed with a year long growing season. We always have something to eat from the garden and this pretty much dictates what we eat. All of our meals are planned around what happens to be growing at the time. One of the biggest challenges is what I like to call crop maintenance. What to do with all of the vegetables? Beyond sharing with the neighbors and friends I am always trying creative approaches to preparing the bounty. So the blog seemed like a good way to both keep track of and share my recipes.

Look at how the garden grows

Here is a quick up date on the spring garden progress. We came back from Italy and the garden had exploded.

Zucchini were ready, the cherry tomatoes were starting to ripen,
We have eggplants, cucumber and butternut squash are set and growing.
