Blueberries


 Every year those bushes get bigger! That's a good picking of blueberries, with more coming! Rinnah made blueberry bagels with them, and we think there's still enough for a batch of jam.

Eating the yard

 Rinnah took "eating the yard" to a whole new level as she attempted a week of eating ONLY things that came from our yard. She allowed herself both fresh and frozen (from last year), and at our pressing, salt, but otherwise NOTHING beyond what had come from here. (So, for example, jams were out because the pectin and sugar were purchased.)

She only made it three days before her stomach mildly protested, but she wants to give it another go in August when the list of available fresh options is greater!

Spinach, beet greens, purslane, topped with rhubarb, blueberries, and black raspberries and a few sunflower seeds!

First salad

 No idea what to make for supper? Well, the greens in the garden provided a good start...


Spinach (yes, it's bolted), black-seeded Simpson lettuce, and beet greens.
