Julie Ann picking pea pods this morning. We also harvested broccoli, green beans, 2 tomatoes, chives, and yellow squash.
Today was a day of theatre, planting, and produce. Alexander had his Shakespearean theatre production. He was Romeo in the swordfight scene and the lion from a Play Within a Play. He did a great job!
The kids were complaining there was no fruit in our home to eat. I made jam with it all! So we went to the small Friday farmer's market and purchased a plethora of fruity local produce: cherries, strawberries, raspberries, apricots, nectarines, plums, and apples.
We started our first plantings in the new raised bed, a line of giant sunflowers! Hopefully, we'll have lots of seeds to roast.
For dinner tonight, we made my favorite potato-leek soup complemented with the smoked salmon, cheese, and pepper jelly, all from our farmers' markets. Dessert was a raspberrry-strawberry compote. Delish!
