Forecast calls for rain. What's new in Vancouver, eh? So, hubby and I decided to take the kids out and 'harvest' the tomatoes, beans, zucchini, Japanese squash and basil. Oh, there was plenty. We had started picking our veggies earlier in June. Now, it's nearing the end. Only things left are the pumpkin, some type of squash and chayote. Not sure if the latter will survive or bear fruit. We'll see...
The tomatoes were fantastic this year. So many and so sweet. We mainly had the cherry variety but also some heirloom type.
Then the basil was plenty but I think I left it too long. If I had harvested last month, it would have been a bit fresher but nonetheless, it is still good.
So, with tomatoes and basil, I did what was only natural - made tomato and basil salad. Sliced up the tomatoes (not the cherry ones), sprinkled ripped basil, salt and pepper then doused with evoo. Oooooh, it was heavenly! The end of summer dish that just delivers and makes you remember what summer is all about. Until next year, my garden, my dear garden...
