Garden fresh veggies for tonight's soup

Even though our vegetable garden is not at its best this summer, I was able to happily pick a few veggies to add to our vegetable soup for dinner. From left to right: Carrot, eggplants, patty pan squash below the eggplants, zucchini, Arat parsley root. I generally wait until late September to pick carrots, but I was excited to pull one today. I gave it to my carrot connoisseur, Drew, to eat and he said it was delightful! As I haven't grown Arat parsley root before, I decided to pull one with lush greenery to see how big the root was. It was tinier than expected and I will not pull anymore of them until late September/early October.
