Cherry on top!

Container gardening is a summer project for the last few years. The plants are easy to access and provide that fresh addition to meals and sandwiches.

There have been many successes with herbs and a few vegetables plus ever plentiful cherry tomatoes. Although Swiss chard was an easy grow, I do not recommend trying to grow pattypan squash.

So wonderful to harvest some sweet yellow peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes and some herbs. Basil is truly the “cherry on top” for many dishes — salads, casseroles, pasta, pizza. Relish!
