A handful of lettuces and other greens are starting to bolt, so I'm glad I seeded out another set last week in a different bed. Our replacement peppers are much happier than the old ones, which is nice.

Juniper and I were out picking strawberries and haskaps/honeyberries yesterday. Nothing made it inside, but she was having a blast and was very excited to help out. I was very excited that she was receiving immediate rewards for following directions (beyond praise).

It's uncomfortable enough at the height of the day that I'm potting inside my little workshop in the garage, reserving the early and late hours for field work. Remember to help yourself out with lots of water and good electrolytes!

What's growing on with you all?

I'm so happy to have the herb garden in full bloom again. I missed being able to just step outside and harvest a bunch of different herbs to cook with. I made mac and peas for dinner last night, which is pretty much what it sounds like, a light Parmesan cream sauce with macaroni, peas, and every herb within reach.

The tomatoes are starting to fruit, too, so quick garden tomato sauces are on the horizon.
