Nothing goes better with Swiss chard than mashed potatoes. Actually, I'd put mashed potatoes with almost anything. Can't wait to be growing both of these things in the garden this year. .

Due to a post office glitch, I didn't get my "Vintage Heirloom Tomato" ornament I ordered until today. I'll enjoy it for the few hours left before I take down the tree tomorrow. It's SO me... Counting down until I see the real thing again in the garden. Happy New Year! May 2019 be a year of great garden yields! .

Always good to talk fresh, local and seasonal with @iknauer at @thebookhousemillburn. Got a chance to see Ian demo a mushroom risotto (with locally-foraged mushrooms). Lucky to get a copy of The Farm Cooking School @thefarmcooks cookbook too! Recipes look fantasic! .

I was going to go out and plant garlic, but I don't want to disturb this handsome boy's well-camouflaged nap in our yard. I'll plant a little later. 🍂🍃🍂🍃🍂🍃 .

Love making homemade pizza. This time using peppers and herbs from the garden. Clam and pancetta pizza and pepper and onion pizza. So fresh and delicious. 🍕🍕🍕🍕

As much as I love a good trip to the farmers market, I love picking these fresh from the garden even more. 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅 .

Blueberry Lemonade Smoothie. The rain has stopped but it's still a humid summer day. Sitting outside and enjoying this refreshing drink. This one is just homemade lemonade, fresh blueberries and ice in a blender. #vodkaoptional 🍋🥃🍋🥃🍋🥃

Monarchs!! This is the first year I made a real effort at filling my garden with monarch-friendy plants and it's working. Found a bunch of the caterpillars munching on the milkweed this morning. 🦋🌿🦋🌿🦋🌿🦋 #monarchbutterfly #butterflies #pollinators #savethemonarchs #urbangardening #organic #gardening #instagarden #gardenlife #milkweed #smallspacegardening #maplewoodnj

It's amazing what grows out of a simple flower. .
