Eating fresh from the garden is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fruits and vegetables in the summer and fall. Grab a bowl and some kitchen shears, go out and harvest my own ingredients for a big green salad or roasted Parmesan green beans or homemade spaghetti sauce.
The garden is a great way to get kids excited about a wider variety of vegetables, too. If they have a hand in their care and harvest, they’re far more likely to want to try new things.
