JUNE IS THE BEGINNING OF FRESH PRODUCE FROM MY CANADIAN GARDEN

June birthdays are over. Lots of cake and celebrations. Loving the barbecue season. Mostly steak and chicken but I am barbecuing my baked potatoes too. The garden has given me a first feed of zucchini. The parsley, oregano and basil are growing well and have been used in some dishes. I made a simple tomato sauce with the fresh basil on Saturday night to put on our spaghetti. My bean plants have flowers on them so it won't be long before I can write about eating beans fresh from the garden. Hopefully my painful knee will be better after Friday-getting a cortisone shot. Then maybe it will be on to some farmer's markets just in time for the beginning of fresh produce.

If not Barb threatens to go without me!
