Harvest season begins

It's only lettuce and strawberries (and tons of parsley) at the moment, but at least it's beginning. I'm not sure we'll get anything else except for mulberries and cherries before we leave in about 10 days. L is thrilled to go outside every day and find the latest strawberries.


V loves to pick whatever. Mostly she's been pulling leaves off strawberries and pulling whole basil plants out of the garden, but sometimes I can distract her next to some lettuce and she'll pick. Then she throws everything in the bowl up in the air and it scatters. The arugula is delightful this year, not too spicy.


Only a few strawberries have actually made it inside the house; the rest are gobbled up outside. Yum.
