I made another Salad Niciose today and sad that the green beans are coming to the end of the season.

There is no better taste than fresh from the garden produce. Not even the stuff you can get at the grocery store.

Even though the green beans from my family's garden will soon end, the tomatoes are on their way. Hopefully. If they ever ripen.

Mmmm, fresh from the garden tomatoes. I can't wait.
