Some days you just do what you can to get through it.

There it is. Nailed it.

Stunning!! My first rose just budded out this week. I can’t wait for the rest to get going!

I am still full, Heather. It was so good.

Getting a head start on the week by prepping a bunch of crunchy veggies and French lentils for a big lunch salad with a tarragon mustard vinaigrette and a jammy egg. Niçoise inspired but then freestyling. I hope it still sounds good when it’s time to eat it for four days. 🍜🍽️🥗 #cooking #foodsky

I still have so much work to do in the garden and for meal prep this week. Does that help?

Wen’s Kitchen in North Portland!

I’m not super familiar with ramps. I haven’t ever cooked with them except maybe when I got them at a farmers market once.

Ours can take two adults and a dog. Millie tried to get in too and almost capsized us.

A pile of collard greens and two fat leeks with the root balls still attached.

Last of the winter harvests: leeks and collards. I still have a handful of leeks but I may let some go to seed because the flowers are so pretty and the bees love them. 🌱

A brindled pittie mix dog smiles at the camera from a hammock with green tree and blue sky in the background.

Hammock dog. Sweet Lucy in the hammock with us for the first time this season.

They make excellent lemonade.

My beautiful 16yo just brought freshly squeezed homemade lemonade out to me where I’m dozing in the hammock. Rough life. 🍋🩷

I’ve been reading the Memento Mori series and I like it so much but I would like it better if there were fewer cops.

It was amazing.

If you’re in Portland, hit up Wen’s Kitchen at the Yellow Line Food Carts in NoPo. Try the netted spring rolls too.

It was unreal. I would eat it every day.

So good. This was the half size and I need a nap.

loaded… pho… poutine… 🤤😍

It was amazing. I didn’t know quite what to expect but it’s exactly the best parts of pho with the best parts of cheese fries. What a slam dunk.

Would

Literally what I said.

A pile of fries topped with cheese, pho gravy sliced beef, basil, jalapeño, onion, and cilantro, and generous chili crisp.

Our local Vietnamese cart just started making what they call loaded pho poutine. It is a taste sensation! And the chili crisp on top is spicy as heck. I’m so happy right now. 🍽️🍜

Right? Well, now it’s IN the bin along with a bunch of blackberry vines and mess from last winter.

A cauliflower plant that is long and gangly and almost 6 feet tall and flowering. It is leaning on a compost bin and spreading to each side of it.

This is a “nature finds a way” demo. Last year I seeded out brassicas in the greenhouse and I must have dropped a seed. This cauliflower grew through the winter in a little space between my potting table and my growing racks and ultimately went to seed. #gardening 🌱

The drought is going to be bad for all of us. We’ll have to be smart about watering.

As long as you want an obscenely large summer squash.

I bought ten tomato plants today and I’m just getting started. Ready to be the neighbor who won’t let you walk by without taking produce.
