Raised Vegetable Garden Box 2

Check out how big everything we planted on Mother's Day has gotten in the first raised veggie box! The flowers on some of the peppers have started turning into little peppers. They are really cute! I have one lone strawberry that is turning red so far. Hopefully more will follow. The nursery had some new plants out so we are trying some beans, watermelon, cucumber, zucchini, honeydew and spinach in the newest raised veggie box. The plants seem so small in comparison.

Potato Salad

and grilled hot dogs for dinner tonight! I made this potato salad based on Tyler Florence's recipe . I skipped the onions, capers, lemon juice, and eggs. I hate eggs. 2 baking potatoes, cut into large pieces and boiled until fork easily slides in. Let cool and then cut into smaller bites 2 stalks of celery, diced Dill pickles, we had the long thin cut for sandwiches and I diced about 4 of the slices Pickle juice Mayo Yellow mustard Salt Pepper Fresh dill, ripped from the stems Chives, I cut a few from the garden but didn't like how they were browning in the potato salad Paprika, a sprinkle to finish off the potato salad
