The CK Daily – Harvesting Time!
Happy Friday, folks! What runs around a garden but never moves?
A fence.
Now that I’ve gotten past the lousy gardening joke, I’ll share an update on our garden. We’re harvesting something from our garden daily! This is the time of year when all the hard work has come to fruition. It makes all the prep work, weed control, and keeping the deer out (I’m looking at you, Bambi!) worth it!
What are your favorite fresh veggies, and do you have a favorite recipe to share? One of my favorite fresh veggies is Okra, especially when cooked on a Blackstone grill. Tasty!
Also, I want to share that the CK Daily for next week will be a little different. We’re going to give our team of contributors a week off from contributing. The CK Daily will still deliver to your inbox daily, but we’ll change it up a bit for the week. Stay tuned!
Have a great weekend!
