  1. What a beautiful & impressive garden, Nicole. 💚 Seriously, you did a great job and it sooo paid off! 👏🏻 Hey, at least you have cauliflower, most people don't, so... You're a lucky girl! 🙂

    And yum at your squash! Can you believe I've never had it as a chips? It's cool. Unusual. I like to try everything so, I just may in the future. 💚

    1. I think you can buy squash chips at health food stores but if you make your own be sure to season them. They are so good.

  2. OH how nice!!!! Look at those spuds and I'm SO JEALOUS that you have cauliflower!!! I think I had that exact same dehydrator! Or a similar brand, it was round like that one and did the job, I found it loud though. Good for you Nicole, you have a green thumb!!! :)

    1. I wish you lived closer we could share. The dehydrator is actually pretty quiet, but heats the house up so I will start using it on the back porch.

  4. You have a fine harvest! Congratulations! I think the blue flowering plant you are asking about is borage (Borago officinalis) - it is used as a herb and medicinal plant. It is originally native to the Mediterranean area and has been cultivated in Central Europe since the late Middle Ages. Bees love it!
    All the best from Austria, Traude

  8. You will really be eating well as the summer progresses! We have only shade in our yard, so no veggies.
    Just a few herbs in pots in one good spot.

  15. Wow Nicole, I am jealous! LOL! Amazing! Sorry, I don't know what that plant is? Maybe it's some sort of "weed". Big Hugs!

  16. Yes, the unknown plant looks like borage (called Borretsch in German). It's a great plant for pollinators and is usually self seeding. If you have it once, it will be there forever. *LOL* The flowers are great for decorating salads or other food and have a cucumber like taste. Your garden looks great!
