These pictures were taken over a week ago, but are so relevant! We are reaping the benefits of all the hard work in planting and tending to this garden, in building back up and \u00a0re-fencing, in careful removal of cabbage butterfly larvae from the undersides of huge kale leaves. From encouraging toads to take up residence (Milo feeds a big one he named “Big Mama” and she has since had babies!) to eat the slugs and snails that like our strawberries, to trimming back foliage to encourage fruit growth, we have been busy in that green green place. And now, it shows!\u00a0\"DSC_0027\"<\/a>\"DSC_0057\"<\/a>\"DSC_0030\"<\/a>\"DSC_0058\"<\/a>We harvest on average 4 cucumbers a day now, plus a handful of green beans a day, about 4 peppers per week (and if you were wondering, the purple variety tastes just like green peppers — I was expecting something closer to red peppers I think!), and massive amounts of beets, kale, and spinach. Our tomatoes are all still green, but massive. I’m just biding my time for those!<\/p>\n

Also, I wanted to re-share the link to one of our favorite summer recipes: Briana’s Creamy Tomatillo & Avocado Sauce<\/a>. I pinned this one way back in early March and promised myself I would try it. Well, folks, it’s a winner! The only modification I used was sour cream instead of mayo, but it is fantastic. So far, we’ve used it as a dip for our garden veggies above, a dressing on raw kale salad with bacon and cucumbers and tomatoes, and it is AMAZING on top of a burger with cheddar (the recipe I posted earlier this week). Amazing. So try it, and thank you again, Briana<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
