It is the first really hot day of summer. Over 100 degrees. So begins the long summer. So far we have planted garlic, onions, potatoes (at least 5 varieties), cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, corn, cilantro, parsley, chard, eggplant, assorted herbs, and assorted flowers. the only thing that is really producing right now are the strawberries. We have a ton of them, which is a good place to be. We just need to turn some into strawberry jam. We have already made some sorbet. I highly recommend grapefruit strawberry sorbet. It has just the right amount of tartness. If you want to see pictures of the garden, head on over to our flikr page. Here are the March blossoms:
