Using the goodies from my garden . . .

As you may know I planted my first garden this year! Some things turned out and some did not- but the experience was really fun! I made this chicken noodle soup and added basil, chives, parsley, summer squash, and red pepper all from MY garden. I also used tomato from my MIL's garden because my tomato's did not do very well . . .Hubby now thinks that he may have been over watering them, that's how it goes though you live and learn! It is a really neat thing to eat what you grow. While we certinly haven't grown enough to live on, we have had some awesome fresh herbs that I wouldn't have been willing to pay for at the store. I discovered that I really, really like fresh basil. Who knew? I also accidently planted fennel, anyone know what to do with fennel?
