first fruits (um, I mean vegetable)

Look at 0ur baby pepper! Isn't he so cute? It's our "first fruits" from our new garden! We got started a little late in the season (because of moving and everything else) so we are just now seeing things come up, and it is so exciting. In fact, we used fresh cilantro and basil from our garden tonight--it was so rewarding to walk out in the back yard and pick fresh herbs from our own garden! We're still waiting for our squash, broccoli, tomatoes, onions, beans, asparagus, watermelon (we got a little ambitious at the farmer's market!), and pumpkin (what in the world do you do with pumpkin???)
