I love giving and getting. Today the same neighbors gave me more beets, onions, carrots and zucchini. Yum. One of the zukes got grilled tonight. I plan on doing that tart tomorrow with the beet greens. Maybe make some pickled beets too. I have lots of fresh garlic, herbs, some cucumbers that I could share with the neighbors, but their tastes aren't as adventurous as mine, and their stomachs don't tolerate some things I guess. No tomatoes yet. They will be late for everyone in my area it seems. Even my neighbors across the fence have only had a couple ripe ones. They have 3-4 more hours of sunlight than me, those lucky ducks! I love our trees up here, but they do get in the way of growing a summer garden sometimes. My garden is surrounded by neighbors' trees. C'est la vie.
