Our Garden

We have a tiny garden in 2 big planters on the back porch with 2 tomato plants and a few herbs, basil, cilantro, mint... and a couple of other things that don't seem to be doing well.
The tomatoes are growing like crazy though. When we had our very first tomato ready to harvest, we didn't quite know what to do with it...


1 tomato barely bigger than a golf ball. How is everyone going to get a taste of our very first tomato? I decided to create my own version of bruschetta. I used basil from our garden, cilantro from our garden, and fresh garlic from Safeway, chopped them all up, mixed together, and then put them on a toasted, lightly buttered piece of chibata bread.

This is how much it made...we were amazed how it seemed to stretch. Alisyn said it was like Jesus with the bread... I loved that she said that. Our own little miracle tomato! Plenty for everyone to have a couple of bites and it was soooo delicious! I think we were just so proud that it all came from our garden.
