THE HAPPY FROG GARDEN PATCH is dedicated to the fun of growing an abundance of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. Located at the Common Ground Community Garden in Safety Harbor, FL, the garden was started in April 2010 by Dr. Shawn Hollander, an optometrist, and owner of Safety Harbor Optical. Lending a tremendous helping hand is garden assistant Sandy Kracov, whose help has enabled the expansion of the garden to almost double its original size. The raised bed garden now measures 36' x 10'.

Still going strong
It has been too easy to take all of this fresh produce for granted--been picking just about this amount daily now for perhaps 7 weeks. A few days I didn't even bother to take a photo. The Roma tomatoes, of which are 2 varieites, the Big Mama and the San Marzano will be ripe for picking tomorrow. Those, and eggplants, will make a great Rattatouille. The San Marzano seeds were shipped from Italy and are known to be the Italian Roma tomato of choice in Italian cooking.
Here are the new totals for the Spring Garden:
Cukes: 137
Large Tomatoes: 76
Zucchinis: 41
Eggplants: 20 (with many more on its way)
