The first pesto of the season may not be as exciting as the first tomato sandwich. But it’s pretty exciting.
It would have been a crime to apply heat to a perfect little squash that was growing in a cool rain only minutes ago. So I et it raw.
Speaking of summer, do we tolerate summer better as we get older? I would find it difficult to live without air conditioning here in the South. But I set the thermostat for 83 (though I make it a little cooler at night). It’s 93 that I can’t handle. Still, working in the garden in the heat of summer is hard work. My only hope for keeping a respectable garden now that Ken has headed back to Scotland is to get the gardening done early in the morning.
Same plan here in Northern Indiana. I try to put in an hour first thing in the morning before it heats up. So far, it’s doing very well this year.
Hi, Karren. It has been a good spring for growing things here, too. One could have a fine summer garden with an hour’s work each morning.
