Sadly there's not much of a spring bounty this year. But there are some things coming in that I have absolutely nothing to do with, which I'm going to be happy with for now.
Berries
Grapes
Flax (sprouted from chicken feed)
Kumquats (would be so nice in a gin & tonic on the patio)
And the SAD SAD state of our vegetable garden...
Empty boxes. Plus a few herbs. I'm trying to work on that in the next few weeks.
Ohh...a kumquat in a gin and tonic, what a lovely idea. I just posted about gin and sparkling limeaid. It must be the warm ca weather that gets the mind wandering to g&t's! :-) p.s. Your wild garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just planted all of my herbs and vegetables and they're all getting very big. I was so excited to get to eat it all and see where it all went and now we're moving...So my backyard will be like nature's bounty and I won't even be there to enjoy it. Sad story.
ReplyDeleteI love how resilient plants are.
ReplyDeleteAnd, if you ever find yourself with a surplus of kumquats I happen to know someone who can literally eat them by the handful (hint, hint).
Ah, someone else with wild berries in the yard. Heck, you have your hands/arms full... just snack on berries and enjoy the no-work bounty :) I too took a year off veggie gardening to focus on a newborn... this year, we're back strong. You will be too!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this summer without lots-o-tending, next year will be even better bc he will be out there 'helping!!! Oh to have a slice of land...going to try and see if herbs like the balcony life!
ReplyDeletehow neat is it that these fruits come in all on their own. i just love it!
