Did I tell you that we moved to the sweetest little street in Oakland (that is not an oxymoron)? Last August, we left the fog of San Francisco and headed to the Sunny Side of the Bay. We absolutely love it! We have sun and space and neighbors we know!
One of my most favorite things about our new neighborhood is that we have a community garden, just for the people on our little cul de sac. We've planted tomatoes (lots!), zucchini, corn, squash, basil, beets, carrots, eggplant, radishes, beans, and peppers. The tomatoes seem to be doing well, but we'll see what else the soil allows.
This is our first little harvest. Teeny zucchini! I thought they would get bigger, and maybe they will, but for now, this is it.
I also spied an almost red tomato, which tickles me the most because I started those babies from seed! I am one proud tomato mama.
Oh, and this cocktail? Well, that's basil (in the form of a gimlet) from our garden. And I have the best husband/mixologist on the block to make them for me! I haven't told the neighbors of his cocktailing talents just yet...
