Greetings, people.
Another busy week dominated by family health matters and a garden schedule which waits for no man.
My 94-y.o. Dad continues to cope with failing health. For the family, his comfort and well-being are a priority as he continues his life’s journey. On the home front, we transplanted all the remaining summer crops: beans, tomatoes, winter squash, peppers, cukes, and zuccs. It’s a very satisfying and hopeful feeling to look around and see a summer garden in the ground. For anyone who’s interested, I posted some pictures of this year’s garden on the 2022 Veggie Garden thread.
The Vegetable Of The Week is leeks, along with the last of the spring spinach and asparagus.
Cooking for two adults in the PNW.
