Homemade pico and pesto with fresh 'maters & basil from my garden!
Made pico de gallo with fresh 'maters and jalapenos from my garden tonight. Mmmmmmmmm! (I add crushed garlic to the recipe.)

Followed that with homemade pesto with fresh-picked sweet basil from my herb garden, dipping it in rosemary garlic bread. Everything organic, no trace of pesticides. My tongue is in heaven! If I had time to tend a one-acre garden, I'd never buy produce again. Nothing is better than homegrown veggies!

But I cheated - I bought plants at the nursery and have only been tending them for a couple months. Well, I did plant cornseed and cilantro and spinach and green beans. Everything else was already germinated and thriving.

3. Is It Good?
My Aunt has a 10 acre garden behind her house in the middle of Nowhere, Kentucky.

She's not really up on Pesto, Basil and Herbs but you couldn't pick a better tomato, potato, ear of corn, cabbage and/or lettuce in your life.

Cukes are out---Copperheads smell the same way and she dosen't invite trouble.
