The Garden

The garden is in full swing. The sun has been shy this year so we may never get any tomatoes but everything else is doing quite well. Cooper has been helping by picking the raspberries (about 2 pints a day!) and doing the "chicken chores". No eggs yet, but we expect them to start laying in about a month.

Lettuce, lots of lettuce.

Rhubarb, LOTS of rhubarb. My favorite thing to do with it lately is to make rhubarb soda. I usually add strawberries or raspberries. Click here for the recipe. I follow this but add the strawberries or raspberries.


Rainbow chard. We pan fry it with a little olive oil, fresh garlic, and red pepper flakes. Yum!


Mint


Grapes. So beautiful.

Gardening brings me peace and brings togetherness to our family. Love.
