Walk with me!

I want to show you the few potted vegetables that I have. Please excuse the ash.

Tomatoes

This tomato plant is an Early Girl variety. It has so much fruit, I tied it to a bistro chair because the stakes can't hold the weight of the tomatoes.

Have you seen the movie Fried Green Tomatoes? It is a 1991 film based on the book "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" by Fannie Flagg. My Mom wanted to see the movie and brought me along with her. I think I was a Junior in high school then.

How about these for some yummy, crisp, spicy, and mouthwatering fried green tomatoes?

I love fresh ripe tomatoes, don't you? How about a Caprese Salad with fresh basil leaves, fresh mozzarella cheese, and Balsamic vinaigrette?

Eggplant

I have three pots of Japanese Eggplant.

I like the Japanese Eggplant because it is less bitter than large globe eggplant, so it doesn’t need to be salted before cooking.

Also, because it is slender, small, and firm, it cooks much faster and doesn’t need as much oil as larger eggplants.

Japanese eggplant is great roasted, grilled, steamed, or added to stews. It pairs well with basil, mint, garlic, lime, chiles, miso, sesame, peanuts, red curry, vinegar, and honey.

Green Bell Pepper

The green bell pepper is a sweet pepper picked before ripening.C

As it ripens, the fruit turns yellow, orange, and then red. However, there are bell pepper varieties that remain green when fully ripened. C

Green bell peppers are low in calories, and high in dietary fiber and vitamins C and K. They are slightly bitter, which accentuates their refreshing flavor when eaten raw. They are also eaten cooked, particularly in ratatouille.
