The Harvest.

Not sure if I am too late for my Harvest, we have been picking tomato’s and cucumbers for the past few weeks (cooking/eating these is another issue) but now it looks like frost is going to be coming. In fact this morning there was some frost around but I am hoping that it did not kill everything in the garden.
So now we need to pick everything, that is of course the easy part, the hard part is figuring out what types of things we can cook with what we have, here is the list of things that we have:

1. Tomato’s (mostly cherry but a few that are maybe 2-3 inches across can’t remember what type they are).
2. Cucumbers (good size ones too, most are 8-10inch long and 2inch in diameter)
3. Zucchini (only a few right now but the ones that are growing are big 10-12 inch long, 2 inches in diameter)
4. Carrots (small finger size carrots, I think I put then in the wrong place in the garden and planted them a bit too close)

So there is my current list, not too bad for an 8ft square garden.
The next big challenge is finding ways to cook these things in interesting ways, I really like spicy foods so if anyone has some good ideas around what I should do with all these vegs please put your receipt in comments.
