Garden Update 5/22


  I haven't had a garden update for awhile because there's not much to report. We have had a lot of cool, cloudy days this month, so a number of my little sprouts are only slightly larger than when I transplanted them to the garden over a month ago. I have also planted more seeds than ever before because we'll have a few warm sunny days and I'll plant a bunch of seeds, but then it cools off and gets cloudy and lots of the seeds never sprout. Or pop up briefly, but then disappear. It has been discouraging. That being said, I do have lots of new little plants still hanging in there and working hard to grow. My green beans and sugar peas managed to sprout during a brief period of sun and grew like crazy for a couple days. There are a few things that seem to be doing really well, like the borage above. And my little Black Prince tomato sprout has grown quite a bit too. We also have raspberries on our two bushes.

Fish Tacos


One of my coworkers gave me some of her favorite tortillas that she brought back from a recent trip to Arizona. So I cooked up some tilapia and made a strawberry pineapple salsa to go with it and we had delicious fish tacos. The tortillas were really good and it was a tasty way to remind ourselves that summer is coming.
