Although this statement would apply to my current state (I have no idea why they insist on keeping my office this cold!!!) I'm actually referring to some of the produce from my garden.
I say garden like it's this lush green oasis of vegetables and berries to
frolic through **insert image of person running is slow motion through a field of strawberries**
I have a few zucchini plants, 6 strawberry plants which have netted us about 8 wee strawberries, 2 sad looking tomato plants but we have picked about 4 tomatoes so that makes me smile, and a few measly carrots -probably not even enough for a Sunday dinner....for just Bruce and I....and I don't eat any carrots.
My pride and joy (yes, I can have pride in a plant) are my 4
Brussel Sprout plants. It was an impulse buy (kind of like buying a PEOPLE magazine while waiting to check out at the grocery store). I saw them at Olsen's Nursery and figured "What the heck!"
I will post pictures tomorrow because, as I just mentioned, I have pride in my plants and I'm proud that I have pride. Huh? Anyway, just look tomorrow.
I got off the subject. I found this great website that talks about freezing vegetables. As we discussed in Nursery yesterday (by the way, we have an opening...anyone want to apply?) Sharon is freezing her green beans and it just got me thinking..."Could I freeze my zucchini? I have 7 plants...did I go overboard? Maybe? Just a little?
Here is the website if you are interested.

Brussel Sprouts.
Up close and personal. It's kind of like looking at someone's bloomers. See the little nubs on the center stalk, under the leaves? They will grow up to be big and strong Brussel Spouts. Which I will tenderly harvest and then EAT! with butter....**droooooooool******
