edpaffjr.comHarvest season is here and we are finally reaping the rewards of our vegetable garden. So far we have picked a half-dozen or so tomatoes as well as tons of kale. The kale is used to feed Amstel, our pet rabbit, while we have really enjoyed the tomatoes. There is nothing quite like a fresh tomato. So far we had BLT sandwiches last week, and I made a delicious Arrabbiata pasta sauce last night with the remaining tomatoes. The recipe I followed was one that I have used many times before, but I substituted all fresh tomatoes instead of the can. I think it turned out the best yet. I’m still holding out hope for some green peppers, jalapenos, and squash before colder temperatures set it, but I’m not sure it is going to happen. Next year I may have to move the garden to a different location.

That’s great Ed! We’ve had some really nice tomatoes this year too. I made a nice spaghetti sauce with sweet peppers and apple chicken sausage. Amstel is a lucky rabbit to be able to have fresh kale!
