I have been gardening for years. I remember the years of sitting on the back porch and shelling peas and snapping beans with my sister. But I loved when my mom would dig some fresh potatoes and make a milk gravy with the peas, and then add the pieces of boiled potatoes all from the garden.
We always have a big garden and my raspberries and marionberries are doing so well this year that I am getting ready to make jam. My husband said he went out tonight to water and the zucchini and other squash is starting to form. If you have not ever planted a garden you really should give it a try.
Summer Garden Vegetable Stew is one of the best ways to use the vegetables that you’ve spent all summer growing in your garden.
DELICIOUS! From zucchini, tomatoes and carrots, (we have all those veggies in our garden) this Summer Garden Veggie Stew is a great way to use up the abundance of produce that is available during the summer season.
