A friend who lives in DC now was in town for our friend's baby shower, and I met up with her and her mom today at the place where I have my garden plot. (Turns out her mother has been gardening there since 1975!!) I spent some time chatting to her mom about gardening and the community garden in general, and she advised I pick my squash and pumpkins as soon as possible lest they get stolen. WTF?! Apparently she's had produce stolen before. I've also heard this from other people.
Between the vegetable theft and the rampant gossiping there is way too much drama going on at the community garden!
I did pick one of the acorn squash, because the vine had died and it wasn't going to get any bigger. I roasted it with some olive oil and salt and pepper and it was AWESOME! I also stir-fried some chard and green beans with pine nuts in olive oil, and threw in some leftover pork, and at everyone with rice. So yummy!
Because I'm mega-proud of my veggies (home grown, y'all!) I'm going to post pics of the meal.
