Friday Favorites

Good morning! Here are some of my favorite things this morning- things I'm loving, and things I'm thankful for!

Tomatoes!

Tomato basil & mozzarella salad- lunch or dinner every day this week!

Canning- it is pretty awesome.

The garden is still looking green, despite the heat. 

I think the straw mulch is helping!

Happy Friday! What are your Friday Favorites?

What's up Wednesday

The Kidney and Provider bush beans are beginning to bloom!

These Egyptian Walking Onions are forming little bulbs on the tops of their stalks- so cool to see. They bend down to the ground because of their weight, and they can either be harvest and used like a shallot, or they will "re-plant" themselves!

Globe basil-it grows in a nice sort of round shape.

My Cilantro transplants are going to flower- its too bad it's so early in the season, but they're nice to look at! Also, I'll harvest their seeds, called coriander, and use those to flavor lots of delicious meals.

What's Up Wednesday

The Bloomsdale Spinach I planted from seed in the garden is doing great- 

look how big it got in the past few weeks!

From near to far: Kidney and Provider Bush Beans, Potatoes, Carrots and 

 Leeks, Lettuce, Kale, and Onions! Woo- what a green garden!

Carrots are going wild- I'll need to thin them soon

Genovese, Thai, and Lemon Basils newly transplanted outdoors.

You wouldn't know it from the picture, but this is an Apricot Tree! :) So cute.
