I also noticed that the zucchini and butternut squash have sprouted in their hills. The indoor starts of yellow crookneck squash, melon, and cucumber are also well on their way - once I've finished pulling all of the beets and carrots then I will be able to transplant them outdoors.
My Kentucky Colonel Mint has gotten unruly this week with the hot sunny weather. I took a page from my mom's book and made a pitcher of mint lemonade with some fresh sprigs of mint. So refreshing after a couple of sweaty hours outside...
I then proceeded to process and freeze the remaining rhubarb from last weekend. I'll pull these puppies out of the freezer when I make strawberry rhubarb jam in a few weeks.
Rounding out the day, I picked a quart of mulberries from our tree in the backyard. Crazy I never even knew it was there until a week or so ago...
It's been one of those days where you're reminded of why you fell in love with nature way-back-when.
