"Hello summer gardeners, have your tomatoes come in yet?ÂOur plantsÂare just beginning to bear ripe tomatoes, and if I can just keep the hornworms at bay (Constant Vigilance!) we’ll have a wondrous crop. Our basil got a late start but is now happily bursting out of the raised beds, requiring daily snipping. Those twoâ??tomatoes and basilâ??such perfect partners in the garden, and on the plate. Here’s a quick and easy, kid-pleasing angel hair pasta dish we made recently with chopped canned clams and cherry tomatoes and basil from the garden. I say “kid pleasing” because my 16-year old nephew gobbled it up and came back for more. He’s sort of a big kid now, but I think that younger ones would like this too...."
