Greens

Things are green around here, the snow has melted, the earth is happy, I love this time of year!

Dash brought home a fava plant last week from school that they had started growing in class. One fava bean, planted in a dixie cup and it had only sprouted about 1" when he brought it home. The last couple days we have been measuring it in the mornings and when he gets home from school and it is growing a 1/2" during the day and 1/2" at night...and as of this mornings measurements, it is 12" tall!

 As much as we try to dissuade them, usually one of both of the cats like to try to walk with us down to Dash's bus stop. This is Ziggy waiting on the trail for me when I walked back home. : )

For the first time, we joined a CSA box and are going to start receiving a 1/2 share each week of whatever greens and veggies are growing and ready. This week, we got a bonus small load as they said they were sprouting and wouldn't last til next week, so they started the shares a week early. We got some arugula, a spicy greens mix, chives and lovage. Fresh summer eating, here we come!
