The May Garden

May 27, 2015 Beatrice Perron Dahlen

Harvesting: Radishes, Spinach, Arugula, Mizuna, Mustard - greens!

Awaiting: Peas, Mint, Garlic Scapes, Spring Turnips, And more and more greens!

Planting: Lavender, Nasturtium, Herbs (that have died off)- and *almost* tomatoes and the like

Blooming: Lilacs! 

Enjoying: The first bits of the garden making it onto our dinner plate and making the world a whole lot more colorful.

Notes: It used to be that Peter and I knit together and gardened together.  Parenting has a way of sifting activities - so that only the ones most important to you remain.  For me, that's knitting.  For Peter, that's gardening.  So I truly can't take credit for most of the vegetables that come out of the garden these days.  Peter has worked hard and become such a competent gardener, meanwhile, I try to sneak flowers (which Peter only plants if they are companions to his tomatoes) in anywhere I can.  But I am grateful for his hard work that feeds us so well!  Someday it will be a team effort again.
