It still hasn't stopped raining. Today we were supposed to have monsoons all day, starting before dawn. When I got up at 7:00 and it was still dry, I went out back to get some time in the garden.
This was before I made my coffee.
This is very unusual. Very.
I fed the chicken, hilled up the potatoes (they're growing like weeds, plus all the rain has been washing the soil back), picked a half pint of blueberries, a few strawberries and then happened to look at the garlic bed on my way back inside.
Yikes. Last time I checked, the garlic was getting nice and tall, but this morning there were scapes waving all over the place. Not for long.
Dinner tonight: goat cheese ravioli with backyard basil/garlic scape pesto.
Yum.
That is all.

If you are going to start talking about "backyard goodness" (which I love) then you better darn tootin' throw in a recipe now and then!! Pesto recipe please :D
I sew a lot but I also am a mini homesteader. I have my small garden plot and a mini orchard (ha) of one apple tree, one apricot tree and one nectarine tree. Jealous of the chickens.
Yes, Recipe Please!
Karen, it's really fun to read about your new adventures!
