Homemade Salsa Fresh from the Garden

Harvesting all the fresh vegetables from the garden.









Well it was time to pick the remaining cobs of corn. Oh how sweet they were.

The cucumbers were on the small side, but the zucchini made up for it.

Swiss chard was plentiful and still growing.

 The radicchio was so tasty in the fresh salad.


There's nothing like picking fresh tomatoes,


 basil, onions, oregano, cilantra.



That sounds like a great mix for Salsa.
