summer in the garden

The garden is where Leif and I mill about for at least 2 hours a day...here's a random collection of pictures from the veggie garden.


Borage flower. You can eat these! Tastes mild, like cucumber.

The unfinished coop (still needs the rest of the siding and trim). Leif's sandbox is the wooden box (the lid is closed). Burlap umbrella to protect his tender skin.

Yay for garlic! Leif helped harvest 2 sets of the 12 we planted last fall. That gives us about 150 heads of garlic for the year - if you want some just let me know. We also dug the first baby potatoes! Purple and Red.

Potatoes were turned into this: butter, garlic, dill, salt. Oh la la.

Hi Rachel! I just wanted to say Hello… we've been thinking about you guys and your new baby. We’re so excited for you! Your house and gardens are looking more gorgeous each day! We wish you the best of luck with the remodel and the last few weeks of pregnancy. And Leif, that pose with the garlic is pretty much the cutest thing… Ever.
