Our garden has been pretty good this year. Next year I want to do much better and grow much more. This years crops:
eggplant, heirloom tomatoes, roma tomatoes, pear tomatoes, another kind of tomatoes I don't remember, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers, basil, green bush beans, lettuce. (Next year I want to add zucchini, yellow squash, corn, rainbow kale, spinach, and more heirloom varieties of everything).
The yummiest thing I have made with all of it? Vegetable Panini. I thinly sliced an onion, zucchini, squash from Phil's garden, tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers. Marinated them in olive oil and thyme and ground pepper. Grilled the veggies in my grill pan. Piled them on homemade French bread split in half. Put fresh mozzerella cheese on top and broiled in the oven until the cheese was golden. Sprinkled the top with freshly sliced basil. YUMMY! I wish I took a picture.
Another garden surprise this summer was my zinnias. I didn't get around to planting the seeds this year, but I guess last years plants did the job for me!

Anna, you just made my microwave dinner I barely ate sound like ... well, what it is.
That all looks so fabulous!!!! My mouth is watering. I'm super impressed with you. How delish!
Anna, it looks so beautiful laid out on the table. Such colors. It makes me miss our garden at the old house. It looks like we should be coming up to your house for dinner. Also, we will be doing panini's at the pizzeria so if you see something that looks similar to what you just described, don't try to collect royalties or anything(maybe a free sandwich).
The veggies do look wonderful. I am also excited about your zinnias. They are some of my favorites. They produce such a variety and make lovely arrangements.
