The beautiful weather has given us a head start. Let's hope Jack Frost doesn't pay us a visit.

Strawberries, Raccoon and Scarecrows




We were hoping to have enough strawberries this year to sell, but even though we had a very good crop, the bed wasn't big enough and the raccoon that seemed to think we were his personal takeout service dashed those dreams. We did manage a couple of good feeds and they were sooooo good.
We have harvested some peas and herbs. Enough to make an amazing tabbouleh salad. We used garlic, mint and parsley from the garden. We are also drying Chamomile, lavender, oregano, lemon balm and catnip. All can be used for teas, but after smelling the cat nip I think I will save that for the cats. So in the next month we hope to be selling teas, tomatoes, herbs, salsa, stewed tomatoes and jams. I will keep you updated.
