Our garden in full bloom

One of the getting home "chores" that I got to do today was go around our yard and take stock of how things have grown while we were gone. This spring has been amazing for the produce we have, staying cool for many more weeks than normal in May. After the frustration of flying yesterday (thank you, United), it was so nice to go into the yard and be able to pick something that we've grown. This is about half of the ripe strawberries that are out there, and the lettuce is what I thinned out of about 1/10th of what we have. Pretty exciting! After 3 years of trying, we're finally seeing real results from the work!


Other things around the yard are blooming, also:
