When the kids were little we bought a book called Bear and Bunny Grow Tomatoes. It is a lovely little picture book about one animal who takes their time to get their garden ready and tenderly grow their plants and the other who dreams big and lives for fun but doesn't put in the work. Once reaps a harvest. We lovingly refer to John as one of the animals.
This year's harvest was turned into pasta sauce with fresh basil, thyme, garlic, and oregano. Placed on a baking tray and roasted until the house was permeated with the tangy smell. Then pureed and placed into freezer bags for a quick meal at the end of a busy day and a taste of summer to chase away the dark evening of a drizzly winter night.
