First garlic bulb, and she’s a beaut! 40 more to harvest and cure, gonna last me til next July.
Never before have I felt so lucky to have space to grow food without Cyclospora!
Phew! Tomatoes and peppers transplanted to larger pots, hardening off for couple weeks. Montana’s a tough one.
Can’t believe people here in MT still wait until Memorial Day to plant. This mesclun is ready to eat! #garden #growveggies
Gorgeous! First time in decades I made Irish soda bread. Made the cross too deep. Next one better, I hope.
Made with real, high-quality Gruyère from The Gourmet Cellar, really tasty.
Why oh why did I grow so many poblanos?? Some cored & frozen. Some grill/peeled, sliced , frozen. So many chile rellenos!
Look at those reds and greens! King of the North pepper and Pink Boar tomatoes. #garden #gardening
Say it ain't so, allergy blood panel!! I'm allergic to these kids? Starting the immunotherapy next week, so in only 3 yrs or so I can snuggle them without sneezes. Happy #Caturday anyway.
Everybody be posting #tomatoes! Here are San Marzano and Black Plum, ready for the Mouli (for a lovely, fresh passata) and freezer. Harvested a few days back in breaker stage, which is an actual thing. #gardens #gardening
Just wondering what evolutionary strategy this little green bean was adopting? Like, "if I curl up they won't eat me?" #Gardening #Garden #OrganicFarming
Finally, finally, peace in the valley, all kitties accounted for and fast asleep. Happy #Caturday!
Lazuli bunting, Bird of the day from a glorious hike. I can't photo birds worth crap, so offering this from Montana Audubon. With photo credit and everything.
The herb garden today! Tarragon, cilantro, hives, thyme, 2 oreganos, parsley, sorrel, sage, rosemary. All survived Montana winter!
Happy #Caturday to those who celebrate. This guy’s not because that napping spot is now occupied!
