homegrown spring salad


this spring i am finding that the garden is allowing me to slow down just a bit more. although the tasks of the garden may seem trivial- planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, preparing- they are becoming a necessary part of unwinding at the end of a long day. with this in mind, i am celebrating the smallest moments of preparing a homegrown spring salad from our garden.


the harvesting of edible flowers


gathering of greens


washing the dirt from our radishes


admiring earth's bounty


adding some broccoli sprouts for crunch


& enjoying each bite

i hope you, too, will enjoy the slowness of the garden to table.

  2. I too love that slowness of tending the garden - a chance to shift totally out of the busy demands of the day to day. Tending plants has such a depth to it, that goes beyond the particular activity of the moment.
