The cucumbers in my garden are ready for harvest, at least two per day. They are so delicious right off the vine.
Today, I am blending half of a cucumber in a smoothie with some kale, an apple, carrot and yogurt. It is a simple, creamy treat that is ready in minutes. Sweet.

July 25, 2013 at 10:13 pmYes, I’m really enjoying my garden. I was just thinking of planting some herbs in a bare section of the garden. I hope it’s not too late in the season.

July 23, 2013 at 10:22 amI must have an old model Vitamix! Does the smoothie cycle begin slow at first?
Barbara says
July 25, 2013 at 10:04 pmHi Loretta,
Thank you for visiting.
Yes, the smoothie cycle does begin slow.
Select Variable 1.
Turn the machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
Blend for 1 minute or until desired consistency is reached.
