A thing that we will be missing this summer is our little garden in the backyard. Liz has been very busy preparing, sowing, and planting for the coming season, and for the takeover by our friend Karen who is staying at our place while we are gone.
The onions and garlic that we put in last November have already grown a lot, and are hopefully nice to their new neighbor the horseradish. The rhubarb is going strong into its second year, and the radishes and beets are sprouting and surviving the slug attacks well so far.
We will very much miss the delicious cherries and strawberries that we enjoyed so much last year. But “en Guete” Karen! We will be back in time for the apples and for throwing an apple juice party this fall (Liz is planning to rent/buy a proper apple press this time).
I am writing this sitting on our couch, which I will not sit on again for three and a half months; a thought that has not fully sunk in yet.
