My Garden update!! (with a nice recipe at the end)

Square Foot Gardening List - http://myweb.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Garden update from Margaret R, in Maryland with her brand new garden!!
   
  Help!! I'm drowning in tomatoes.  We harvested over 20lbs. this week 
alone!! and there's a lot more coming.  So far our 24 plants have produced 
about 60 - 70lbs. We've frozen 8(so far) half-gallon bags, eaten a LOT, and 
given away a couple of dozen, too.

   The cukes, planted enough for a 4ft trellis, are doing well even if I 
never got aroiund to trellising them..they like being on the mulch..silly 
things.  Harvested about a dozen..so far.

   We planted 12 different colors of Peppers and they are starting to turn   
...have ony picked 4 so far, but about another dozen soon.  

   We planted 5 Zuchinni, and it's going crazy..lots to shred and freeze for 
future use(meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, breads/muffins)..and still have plenty 
for fresh uses... and to give away.

  The eggplant is doing well..we planted 2 Ichiban, and have harvested about 
7-8 nice ones.  The garlic, beets,potatoes, and carrots are growing well but 
no harvest as yet.
The herbs are in 7th heaven of course!!

Bonus recipe:
This recipe is a favorite of ours, at this time of year especially when we 
have our OWN freshly harvested tomatoes, but can be made with store bought.  
If you want you can do this without the chicken and serve it as a side 
dish...it goes VERY well with fish!!

2 cloves minced Garlic

1/2 c Wine (white or blush) may substitue Chicken Broth if desired

3c  hot, cooked Angel Hair (very thin spaghetti)

Sauté the Onion in PAM until translucent, add the Garlic, Tomatoes, Wine(or

as well.

tomatoes are heated through and start to soften.  Toss with hot Angel Hair 
pasta, and top with Grated cheese to taste.
