Today I am thankful for...
~a homegrown dinner. I got a bit curious/impatient and pulled up a couple of carrots. I just wanted to see if any of my rabbit guarding efforts were worth it. I have never grown carrots before and I find the tug and release of harvesting carrots very satisfying. Then I dug up the dying pea plants in order to plant more carrots, and I got curious and pulled up three garlic plants that were at the end of the pea bed. Again, I wanted to see if there was actually anything down there - gardening requires so much faith, imagination, and hope! I was happy to see that the garlic bulbs looked just like they were supposed to, if a bit small. I also dug up the volunteer potatoes and found a bowlful of little cream orbs. So dinner last night was boiled potatoes with butter and fresh mashed garlic, homemade bread and butter, and a salad of lettuce, carrots, and calendula petals. (The chamomile is for drying for tea.)
What are you thankful for today?
