Here’s how we make this pizza. Three for Thursday: playing along with Cindy of My Corner of Katy.

About

Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children

Gardening is only a refined form of gambling, after all. Sometimes the odds are fearfully against us; sometimes we win; but once the passion seizes us we are the victims of its fascination for life.

I love the look of your rustic looking pizza. Eating what you (or your gentleman farmer) has grown is so much part of the fun of summer.

Kathy, I’m so glad you played along! That tomato-pesto pizza looks absolutely delicious! I’m happy the Gentleman Gardener wasn’t disappointed by late blight this year.
