first of june

dippy eggs, toast, and coffee for breakfast. blue jade corn, yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, soup beans, peppers, parsley, cucumbers, and moon-and-stars watermelon are now in the ground, along with what we devoutly hope was a new england pie pumpkin seed, and also a Mystery Squash (note to self: if you can't identify squash varieties by their seeds, then don't buy the Winter Squash Mix). medicinal herbs have been potted, dishes have been washed, pork short ribs are soaking in their maple-mustard marinade, and i'm the only one here who's not napping.

  only one of the three blueberry bushes survived (i'm calling it The Stick Who Lived). disappointing, but not surprising given the condition they were in. we can get it a friend next spring!


 
two Tom Thumb lettuces, ready to be picked, rinsed, and plopped onto plates. we grew it because the idea of single-serving-size heads of salad was too intriguing to pass up!

teeny little pea pods are forming...


and one raised bed is furry with onions, shallots, and carrots:


inside, there are upcycled mittens in progress:

(i may have over-pinned.)

favorite corners to enjoy:
 
(Finneas the goldfish is camera-shy)

summer's looking pretty promising from here. Happy June!
