Spring 2012

Last weekend we had a visit from Candice and our god-son Chayce. We wanted to share some photos from the trip.

The highlight of Chayce's trip was seeing him playing in our garden. He picked a lot of carrots, peas, and made lemonade from our lemon tree. With Chayce's help, we planted some cucumbers, corn, lettuce, carrots, radish and tomatoes.

Here are some photos of our garden as it looks now. We've started to harvest beets, peas, onions, carrots, lettuce, celery, broccoli, collards, strawberries and are currently drying some fresh oregano. We are patiently waiting on peppers, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers and spinach.

And this was today's bounty, including our first ever strawberry!

We also wanted to share some photos from previous weekends. Recently, we made homemade mustard...

...explored the Marin farmer's market in San Rafael (where Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Civic Center)...

...and went on a hike in the Berkeley Hills where we found some turtles sitting on a log enjoying the sunshine...

That's all for now as it's time to get back to the garden...
