Today's Harvest

With all the rain, the Kale and lettuce are on like gangbusters....

Today's Kale harvest weighed in at nearly a pound.

Crazy for Kale

I am crazy for Kale....When I first tried it a few years ago... I really didn't get what all the hype was about!

I discovered that I preferred the main vain to be removed...My opinion of Kale has drastically changed.

Coffee Date in the greenhouse

I love Sunday mornings..

Sunday mornings in the greenhouse with my honey and a cup of coffee is even better! A great way to start my Mother's Day!

I think our North Idaho, Vitamin D deprived bodies have been craving sunshine....The greenhouse is the perfect happy place to enjoy each others company ...My heart is HAPPY!

We took a few moments to enjoy the the peace of Sunday morning before we were off and running! 

Today was set aside, to get yard work done at the soap shop, hauling wood, and helping Nana & Papa get their garden tilled.  A busy day indeed!

A Productive Yard Day!

I had to relocate the chives last weekend...and it looks like they are having a good time in the new spot!

The Lettuce starts have been planted in the garden a little early.

I will be reusing the paper cups they were started in, as cold caps for protection from the frost.

Cold hardy Kale and Spinach have also been moved from the cold frames and transplanted into the garden.

Summer Love Sweet Pea Mix has been seeded around the garden entrance, in hopes of a spectacular Summer display.

We were busy knocking out our garden chore list today. 

• Troy was very diligent working on the greenhouse 
• the boys were in charge of raking the entire yard, cleaning up piles and burning.
•  I pruned all shrubs, vines and rose bushes, cleaned out and amended the flower beds, planted more seeds, transplanted starts and made dinner. 

All in all, it was a very productive yard day!

What's growing in My North Idaho Garden

Still slow growing here in zone 5b.... 

 The Spinach, Lettuce and Kale starts that over wintered in the cold frames are now starting to take off.
