The first fruits
Our first (of many to come) zucchini were ready to be picked this week. I read in a gardening book that they taste best when they are small, which surprised me since every zucchini that I have ever purchased at the store was at least 6 inches long. These three ended up in the sauce below (along with some fresh rosemary), which ended up in a lasagna with cottage cheese that Elisa made, which was excellent, by the way. (By the end of the summer, all of the ingredients of this sauce will come from the garden, but for now we just used a can of diced tomatoes.)
Our zucchini plants are quickly taking over our little garden plot. Next year I'll be sure to give them more room.
