We have the incredible boon of living next door to a very generous family who has helped us since we first moved to Timber Cove - the Giacintos.Claudia is an expert gardener and has an enormous vegetable garden that flourishes each year. With her four children now living away from home, we get to reap the benefits of the garden, taking home carrots, beets, herbs, kale, chard, broccoli, zucchini, winter squash, potatoes, and more.
We wander over to the garden across the street nearly daily to pick our vegetables for lunch, stopping to eat the ripest blackberries on the bush. Soon, we'll be passing the apples trees to sample the goods there.
These are a few pictures of Sulwen on recent trips to the garden.

with the Anasazi squash that grow bigger than Sulwen - truly!

always try your veggies *before* you pick them, right?
raw kale - delicious!
where to go next....broccoli, cilantro, chard?
