How does your Garden Grow?

Oh Lilly Lilly, Quite so Silly

How does you garden grow?

With water here, and sunshine there,

And a lots of love and a little cheer...

That's how my garden grows.

I thought this picture was just too precious not to share.

Lilly is such a great helper...not sure if it is the girl thing or just a different temperment, but she is much more interested in trying to help do most things than Lucas is. Although not everything is always as helpful as she thinks it is (like "folding" the laundry that I have already folded), most of the time she is just too cute to stop. The garden has been prosperous this year, really thanks to the God's rainy weather earlier in the summer since I tend to forget about it sometimes out on the back acre. We have had lots of cucumbers and squash. The tomatoes are beginning to turn red and pretty soon I will have them coming out my ears...so if you want some please come on by!
Thought I would share our favorite garden recipe this year:

BABA'S CUCUMBER SALAD

3 cucumbers, quartered and sliced

4 roma tomatoes, quartered and sliced

2 green onions, chopped

generous salt and pepper

sprinkle of sugar

1 cup of light mayonaise

Mix all together and Eat!

I am guessing this would only serve 2-3 people since I am pretty much guessing on all of the amounts b/c it is kinda one of those eyeball recipes. So just keep adding stuff until it tastes absolutely perfect! Eat healthy!
