Harvest in the Garden
It’s been around ninety the last several days, which means some of the plantlings in the garden are struggling since I haven’t put up sun shades yet. Perhaps I should, but it’s only just barely March and I have such a hard time doing so. In any case, we had a feast of sugar snap peas this weekend. Even Hippo liked them!
There are two enormous strawberries that are just about perfect as well. Maybe they’ll be ready for breakfast tomorrow. It’s so hard to wait for them after they’ve already turned red, but I know the wait is worth it. Red is not enough. When the smell of strawberries reach me from six inches away, that’s enough.
Tomorrow?

Hope you are enjoying those strawberries this morning, though reading that you have been at 90* when I am staring at a mountain of snow on my garden is just a tad bit frustrating
How is Hippo doing these days? Settling in? I know he must be getting lots of love from you….
I am so jealous. Love, Mom from the frozen tundra
Be thankful for the balmy weather - it won’t get above freezing for three days here!
90! I’m jealous. I’d like to request photos and updates of Hippo. I know no one is thinking of cooking and eating him, but still…
