How has your week been? May is almost over and then it's June, which always seems like summer to me even though it doesn't officially start for another couple of weeks. After getting back into the swing of things from our England vacation (Missed the shots I shared? You can see them here!), it was all things garden this last week. I planted starts and seeds, watered, harvested (overwintered broccoli, beets, onions, and the first of the spring lettuce!), and generally enjoyed myself.π You can see from the pictures of my various beds above that I have things in all stages of growth. Some are just seedlings, some are putting out a lot of growth, and some of the onions and lettuces are close to being harvested (I pick the outer leaves of the lettuce to extend the harvest vs. cutting an entire head). It's fun and rewarding! Oh, and these beds had all been covered in regular row covers since March/April and now that it's warmer, I covered them all with insect netting after taking these photos. I have to do that to keep the ground squirrels from eating everything, but it also gave me super clean produce last year! 5-Star Summer RecipesHere are a few of my favorite summer recipes that other people have enjoyed too.π

Basking in the warmth or waiting for it to end? π We haven't had too many super hot days, although the two we did have this last week were accompanied by a heat pump failure, so no AC - boo. Were we ever thankful when it got fixed!! Mostly it's been in the 70s-80s with a nice breeze so the...
