Garden Fresh

When Holly came over the other day, we went down to check out our garden. Holly, being and experienced gardener, pulled the only weed in our garden. She also mentioned that Rachel and I should use our basil before it gets sun damaged. We did have a lot of basil. Rachel looked up a recipe for pesto and we tried it out. It was pretty strong (I think because it was so fresh), but really good still.
Nate was really excited too. He said he hasn't had fresh pesto since he lived in Italy. He made pasta and used a little pesto, and some fresh mozzarella. It was so good! So, our first "fresh from the garden experience" was a success! It's been a fun project too. Saxon loves to go every evening with Nate to water it. We even have a few new little sprouts coming up. Looks like we have a ton of radishes coming up.
Does anyone know what to do with radishes?

Wow! That is so cool! I want a garden! Ya know, Elder Marlin K. Jensen said having a garden is one of the keys to happiness... among some other key principles as well but it is funny how something like gardening can fuel joy!
