I know Summer does not officially start until June 21st, but it sure is starting to feel like Summer in the garden. School is just about out - 16 days left to be exact. And just like the boys, there is much anticipation in the garden.
Wyatt and I pulled up the last of the peas this morning to make way for edamame beans. They were so yummy last year we just couldn't wait to plant some more this year. Not one made it to the table. All were eating right there standing in the garden with dirty hands.
This morning we spied:
the first morning glory,
the first of Charlotte's babies to emerge,
the first green tomato babies,
the first summer squash still holding on to its blossom,
first figs on Ian's fig tree,
and the first red-ish blackberry...soon to be oh so yummy and dark purple.
Now, if I can just get those boys home from school to help me in the garden. It looks like its going to be a bumper crop. What first peeks of summer are you getting today?
(P.S. Yesterday was my Grammer's birthday! Happy Birthday Grammer!)
