Garden Explosion!

We got back from vacation last night and thrust immediately and painfully into the 100+ plus degree weather of Davis - ahhh summer in the Central Valley. Everything was still in one piece, including the cat, but the garden had gone crazy! Below are some pictures of the plant explosion.

I hope to be able to put up some pictures from our vacation in the next week - we documented just about ever meal we ate (good and bad) - but it's f*&$in' hot and it's a short work week. We have a great foodie week ahead. After three nice days of fasting, we'll be back in the game with the Foodie Group Dinner at our place on Thursday night. The theme is...PIZZA - of course. Then we are off on Friday to SF for the weekend. We'll be at the Giants game on Saturday - I mean what's more patriotic then baseball on the 4th?? Followed by fireworks - come on now!

So that is all to say that who knows what I'll be able to get up on July 5th, but if I don't I'll be back for July 12th for sure...well I guess I can't guarantee that either, it's our 11th anniversary! Happy Bastille Day! Ahh, summer, how I love thee, let me count the ways to slack off...

All tomatoes, all the time...eight varieties.

I thought these would be patty pan squash. Well, no they are the 2lb+ version, I guess.

Some of the first harvest - two types of cherry tomatoes and a sweet pepper.

The crazy lemon cucumber taking over the world.

I dream of pesto...
