It’s that time of year when the garden is bursting at the seems and I am doing my best to eat every ripe little morsel. This year I planted green, yellow and red bell peppers as well as green Italian peppers. I have got more peppers than Peter Piper could ever pick let alone pickle. The tomatoes have been slow to ripen, but now I’m getting at least 4 a day. The plants are at 9 feet and counting. (see below) The Brandywine has yet to produce any ripe ones but they’re close and huge. I can’t wait.
Saturday night was our second visit to the Silver Oak Bistro in Ridgewood. We ate outside both times, unable to resist the call of a comfortable summer night meal under the stars, even in the decidedly unromantic lighting of the Exxon station sign across the street. It’s never good to have a reminder of how much your ride home will cost!
Come make friends.
