Garlic's up

The garlic we planted last fall is coming up in the field. And it has taken until late April for me to get 2 weeks behind on everything that needs to happen this time of year. I think last year I was 2 weeks behind in late March! So that's progress. And it looks like another beautiful day today. It is hard not to be optimistic about this season these days.

I love your daily photos and notes, thank you!

Sheri came home yesterday with a jar of pickled garlic scapes. They are the tastiest thing I have tried since... since I tried unpickled garlic scapes at OLD SHAW FARM last summer. A great idea for extending too-short scape season.
