oh, snap!

Our garden is starting to fill in and that means lots of fresh food to eat! I made Quinoa Summer Salad yesterday and I added steamed snap peas and sliced radishes. As I said before, I love this salad because it's different every time you make it. Hopefully soon, I'll get to add zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes.

 

 

Oh, snap!  This year, my husband ordered a double petal snap dragon and they are starting to bloom. Last year, our snap dragons won a blue ribbon at the fair. I think these beauties have a good chance of doing that again.



We have lots of green things in the garden: snap peas, kale, chard, broccoli, cauliflower, lettuces, beets...

 

 

 

 

 

 

And some new things this year are purple and blue... kohlrabi, Indigo Cherry Drops and Indigo Rose tomatoes.

 

 





 

Some of my family visited  our farm last week (which I'm going to blog about next!) My sister, Alice, who lives in the city of Boston-- the total opposite of my life here-- was taking lots of pictures of the garden and our chickens. She said, "If I lived here, I would want to do watercolors everyday!" If she lived here, she'd be weeding everyday... Maybe one of these days, when there isn't any weeding to do, I'll get out my watercolors. Yeah, right- like such a day exists! I can dream though. <3
