We were so excited to finally get our garden planted this month! We planted squash, zucchini, cucumbers and yellow onions. We also planted a few different type of peppers and tomatoes. And you should see our tomato plants now! This picture was actually taken a week ago and our tomato plants have really filled out.
We were so blessed to have some friends, who have gardened before, come help us plant it and give us some advice. Evidently we brought a few too many plants for our garden…specifically our vine-y ones, the zucchini and squash. You live, you learn. Fortunately, we were able to return them.
Speaking of zucchini and squash I am so looking forward to creating these again:

I’m hoping to can some salsa, pickles and tomato sauce, but I don’t have recipes yet for those. Let me me know if you have a good one that I could use.
I love my salsa, but I don’t know if you can “can” that. I totally forgot about onions (finger snap). Excited to see progress – I just love little plants and the hope of what they’re bringing!! Have a great weekend !!
We are new to gardening too. We planted ours in a raised bed and really crammed in the plants! It is fun to see the progress they are making. Good luch with yours.

I use this pico de gallo recipe–it’s the best: https://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/pico_de_gallo_a/
Thanks for the recipe suggestion. I’m definitely going to check it out. I’m a big fan of The Pioneer Woman.
Well, even if we can’t “can” it I will definitely check out your recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so making that casserole! I have so much zucchini and that looks easy and great! 🙂
Mmm that cheesy zucchini looks yummy and cozy for a rainy day dish. Your garden looks so pretty! Ours is doing well but we have so many WEEDS!
We added squash to our casserole and it was really good too.
It is yummy! Definitely better the first night, but it was good as left overs too.
Ohhh, yum. Zucchini bread! We have a favorite family recipe for that as well. Can’t wait for ours to grow! (Found you via the HV Garden Challenge post.) Stop by and visit my blog!
I’m bookmarking these recipes to use when our zucchini grows! Thanks for sharing.
I have only had Zucchini bread once but it was so good! Enjoy!
