Morning Check In

April 20, 2012 by gracefulfitness 8 Comments

Nearly every morning of the week I head out the backdoor to ‘survey the ol’ homestead’.

 

 

Sometimes it’s just a quick peak to see what’s sprouted overnight but if I have a few spare minutes I will often pull weeds or putter around a while.

This morning I found blueberries forming!

 

 

And the first bloom from bulbs I planted last year.

 

 

Strawberries!  We were a little overeager with these guys, they could have used another day, but they were still delicious!

 

 

Strawberries are one of my absolutely non-negotiables when it comes to buying organic, which makes the $8 we spent on plants last year money very well spent!

My sage and chives have flowered!

 

 

Do you have any go-to chive blossom recipes?

How about sage?

 

 

If nothing else, they will add great color to salads!

 

 

The kale and chard from last fall were trying to flower also.  I want to prolong the greens as long as possible so I chopped them all down to deter bolting.

 

 

Kale chips are on the menu for the weekend!

If you have an ideas for what to do with a grocery bag of chard, please share them!  I will probably end up making a Green ‘n Bean Tart (so good!) but I’ve got enough for a few dishes.

What’s on your menu (food or activity!) for the weekend?
