Girl's Night In

Who is hiding behind that Japanese Maple tree?

Future Farmer Anni on her garden swing.

The weather turned back to liquid Seattle sunshine (aka rain!) today, but we got in lots of planting over the past few days. Here's one of our coplanted beds; potatoes, onions, radishes, marigolds, and broccoli rabe.

Pots full of radishes and heirloom lettuce mixes.

Future Brussel sprouts.

Future blueberries.

Anni and I built a blackberry trellis yesterday. She liked crawling underneath with Barkley.

The dogwood tree is finally flowering.

Ari harvested Rhubarb yesterday morning. We made an apple rhubarb crumble for dessert. Yum! Today was farmer's market day. The finds of the week were lovely French radishes, fresh crab bisque soup, locally caught tuna, fresh pepper cheese, and blackberry honey. Hmm!

Tonight we decided to have a girl's night in. We cooked a roast leg of lamb served with mint jelly and spicy mustard, fresh peas in minted butter, and roasted potatoes with pearl onions. The presence of lamb meant the boys quickly exited. They hate lamb! (more for us!)

The girls eagerly awaiting dinner.

Dinner arrives. Delish!
