First harvest from the garden

I harvested my first summer herbs and vegetables this evening. Using a Black Prince heirloom tomato, some freshly picked basil, some fresh mozzarella and some lovely balsamic vinegar, I composed a caprese salad (click through pictures for a larger version):


I then cooked some way-too-expensive coho salmon and made salmon with cucumber salad and a basil sauce, recipe taken from cookinglight.com


It's definitely satisfying not to have paid $3.00 for a little packet of basil. The tomato was on the smallish side, but the flavor wasn't.

  1. Looks great, I wish I could grow something other than mold.
