#231 : My Hands are Dirty

The May Pie Cottage Garden.

⬆ May at Pie Cottage

⬆ Apples for pies. I have six different trees, four of which looked like scraggly twigs when I planted them as scions years ago.

⬆ Kale for stir-fries, salads, and eggs with greens.

⬆ Looking forward to the first heads of broccoli.

⬆ Potatoes on the way for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

⬆ Three varieties of pears for pies on this little tree.

⬆ Snow peas for salads, stir-fries and snacking. And to their right you can see the individual “saunas” I’ve made for my tomatoes as it’s still a little cold out at night for them.

⬆ Collard greens, spinach, red lettuce, chard, mache, and baby basil.

⬆ The strawberry-rhubarb pie bed…

Thank you, my dear friends, for sharing a few minutes of your day with me.
