More Spring!

 Lots of rain has fallen here, and the artichokes seem to be quite happy.

 My garden box is growing 8 varieties of greens and snow peas.  The greens look like they will be fabulous in a couple of weeks.  However, I will probably thin the plants and harvest a salad or two next week.

Elephant garlic is starting to form into cloves.

We have a few things blooming.

But of course, we will leaving all this behind next week, to enjoy spring time in the south of France.  I hope to continue posting our adventures.

Spring

There is nothing quite like spring time.  Everything is growing rapidly.  It's time to plant for the future, and harvest what's out there.

So here is what I have been harvesting.

Mussels in the shell, at their plumpest of the year.

Steamed, plucked, and ready for vacuum-packing and into the freezer.  To be smoked later.
