This one cucumber plant has already given us two gorgeous cukes and it has a hundred flowers! Good thing since my 4 year old eats a whole one with hummus for a snack!
Shrub sized basil! How much pesto can one family eat, really? I’m thinking I will freeze some to make space for the kale and tomato neighbors. The flowers are drawing the bees which have helped the squash so this basil is a keeper.
One beautiful long squash ready for soup! I have let these get much bigger but this one is getting picked today. The flavor is always mild but a little better if smaller.
Happy Wednesday everyone!
Things I love: justice in all forms; flowers; locally grown food; breastfeeding; feminist theory; outdoor adventures, Divine interventions; 4-H and coffee.
Things I loathe: racism; homophobia; toxic crap; misogyny; bad public policy and pitbull-haters.
My formal education is in sociology, gender studies, and public policy. I've also been a Lactation Educator; 4-H professional, a Certified Master Gardener/Permaculture Design and spent 15 years working to end domestic and sexual violence. I probably still have powerpoint on all these topics.
I've been blogging for many years on dozens of topics- everything from women's health to breed-specific legislation. But the thing I like to write about most is my gardening, food adventures and my kids.
So there you have it. Be a kind human. Thanks.
