Coleslaw Recipe

Coleslaw is a side dish common here in the Northeast, but generally they aren’t very good. This is my go-to recipe that is quick and easy, and stands the test of time.

4 cups shredded cabbage

1/2 cup shredded carrot

2 Tbls. minced onion

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 Tbl. vinegar

1 tsp. sugar

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. celery seed (optional)

In a large bowl combine the cabbage, carrot and onion.

Prepare the dressing from the remaining ingredients, and mix well into the vegetables.

Cover and chill.

How Do My Tomatoes Grow?

The Blight has hit my garden destroying most of the Tomato plants.

For the time, we have saved what has not appeared to be damaged.

It is an emotional loss as well.

When living in Maine, with such a short summer season, fresh ripe Tomatoes from the vine are planned on long before the ground has thawed in the spring.

Garden

Since my How Does My Garden Grow post, the Tomato plants have grown into a jungle.

 The heat and humidity have kept me out of the garden the last few days.

I haven’t been picking the Yellow Raspberries, and many are dropping.

I still have some Yellow Raspberries from last year in the freezer.

These canes are quite prolific and top out between four and five feet tall.

How does my garden grow.

All tied up and ready to grow.

With the indulgence of rain this past month, the vegetable garden is lush and productive!
We tied up the two rows of 18 varieties of Tomato plants as the heavy branches were forming roots of their own.
