Salad from my garden girl

My just turned 5 year old has been out in the garden with me today. She pottered around with me and then, with no prompting at all, started collecting ingredients for a salad.

Here is the salad that she made, with only ingredients from the garden, with only a little supervision from me. Yum yum!

Rain, glorious rain

The weather is a little wet and dreary here. The sky is dark and it seems like even when it is not raining, there is a fine mist in the air. I don't think I'll be spending much time out gardening this weekend. The green house is a lovely place to sit, if it is not too cold. I get a lovely view of the garden outside and the seedling sprouting inside. Sitting in there even reminds me to water the plants in there, which is good, because when the weather is wet, I don't think so much about needing to water. So the garden is being watered by the rain, and the collected tank water has watered the plants in the green house. All is good, and in my opinion, it is looking amazing. Enjoy at wet weekend of gardening. Or stay dry and warm and plan for what gardening you'll do next weekend.
