Meanwhile at the garden
It looks like the bunnies left the nest. A neighbor gardener caught some pictures at the end of last week. They looked so cute! And they didn’t even damage our radishes, at least as far as I can tell.
(The photo was less blurry when I saw it on his phone, silly texting downsampling so as to not use all the data.)
Schemes and dreams for nourishment now and later
- Two years ago, back when we first joined the garden, I picked plums from the ground and pickled them. Last weekend, we went to help thin the plums. Most went to the compost, but I brought some home. So maybe we play with that again.
- Radish and garlic chive butter on ever so slightly toasted bread. Top with fancy salt.
- I saw a mulberry tree dropping fruit on my way to pick up bread. I want to make the mulbarb jam. But realistically, that’s a lower priority canning job these days. Another rhubarb custard pie? Or a rhubarb rosemary crisp? Ice cream with whichever it is!
- I picked up two extra bags of sunchokes. So all the sunchoke things need to actually happen.
- Last weekend, I went to make shakshuka only to discover we didn’t have canned tomatoes. Green shakshuka with the kale and radish and turnip greens?
