The garden, this rainy morning.
It's coming along, this little garden of ours. Many things feel quite late, but we're rolling with it and proceeding anyway, squeezing in a new row here and there and still planting things. I decided to try planting potatoes much later this year, at the suggestion of a few folks who declare it one way of dealing with potato bugs. But it feels so strange to have JUST planted them!
Despite the late feeling, there are things coming in! Lots and lots of greens and herbs, of course. And just this morning, the garlic scapes. Some will be grilled for weekend holiday festivities and the rest pickled, I think. Or maybe I'll make a relish of them, I'm not sure yet. But deciding on what to do with them and then doing it feels like just the perfect rainy Friday morning activity as we ease on into a long weekend at home. Yes, yes.
And the strawberries! Not photographed but certainly in abundance these days. I'm so pleased with our strawberry plants and the bags headed into the freezer, but even more so, the handfuls headed into the bellies of my littles. Limitless berries is kind of a magical thing about summer, don't you think? We think so!
