"The smell of chili spice wafted through the garden as I collected
Sunday's harvest into the upturned bottom half of my oversized shirt. I
tiptoed around my backyard, feeling the cool earth between my toes as

and diced cherry bomb peppers as I looked out the window to the rest of
the ripening patch. While the garden was once nothing more than a
menagerie of seeds planted haphazardly in tilled soil, it is now where
my labor was coming to fruition, literally. I was making my first 'garden to table' recipe: a humble bowl of salsa."
