WEATHER: Sunny and warm. Highs in lower 70s
Fridays are the busiest day of the week, preparing for the Farmers' Market. We got up early and while it was cool, started picking flowers. After about an hour, with one full bag, we came in for breakfast. We went back again and picked all morning.
These tiny flowers and leaves don't weigh much, so it takes a long time to pick an ounce, let alone 10 pounds! Compared to this penny, you can see their size.
We cooled off inside in the afternoon. In the evening, we went back out again. A few more flowers had bloomed during the day. We also dug some onions, and picked fava beans, rosemary and kale. We are adding a treat.....raspberries and African ground cherries. We have about 8 pounds of flower salad mix, less than our goal.
DINNER: Spaghetti with tomato sauce using the last of the lamb sausage.
