Hello,
I went to the old community garden
this afternoon and picked a nice amount of volunteer Red Russian Kale which
went into a stir fry. We added winter onions picked from our front garden as
well as some garlic chives. Oh, I forgot I also picked some cilantro in the old
community garden. It was all quite fine. Leroy pronounced it good.
We need rain. I am not sure when I will
be able to pick more kale if it does not rain soon. That garden space is not
easy to water.
We have also used some oregano that
has come back close to the house as well as onion chives. I love getting all
these greens. I might even get back to that old community garden and harvest
some dandelion greens which seem to be doing quite well.
I love getting the early spring
greens. I even miss the lamb’s quarters as I now have no source for that.
For some reason our mint is quite
slow. Maybe it always is and we just forget, but we cannot yet get enough to
make tea. Right next to it a dianthus plant is blooming nicely and I think it
is early.
We are enjoying a pair of birds go in
and out of a hole in the tree in the neighbor’s yard. It is right at eye level
for us. I was also pleased when I picked up trash around the block to see four parts
of bird’s egg shells. Those babies are growing.
