One unplanned fortuitous consequence of placing the pizza oven in the back yard near my wife's planned flower garden is growing edibles. I managed to convince her that it ould be a good idea to plant herbs in some of her flower spots, and to plant tomatoes near the oven - although I can't believe it, she agreed!

We've planted four herbs so far, from left to right they are sage, thyme, chives, and parsley
A cherry tomato is on the right side of the oven - we started it in an Aerogarden during winter, and had tomatoes early. We also grow 7 varieties of basil in the Aerogarden year round
Larger tomatoes are on the left side of the oven. It doesn't get better than having vine ripe tomatoes available for your pizzas - really gets the guests involved as well.

The finished pizza - we're getting better at properly controlling our temperature and cooking time
Here's an interesting variation - basil pesto base, feta cheese, pizza blend cheese, black olives, and grilled Brussels sprouts drizzled with balsamic vinegar
Doesn't look too bad when baked
