Lettuce, mustard and onions from the garden.
Cucumber raita salad with yogurt dressing, placed on finely shredded spinach from the garden. Tomato curry. Bacon. Scrambled eggs with shredded cheese. A fried, seasoned tortilla.
Our backyard, this weekend - tall grass, but too wet to mow.We are planning a long camping trip with our son and his family, so spent Saturday afternoon at Cabela's, checking out the camping gear. We bought a fire grate that can be used 'out in the middle of nowhere' in eastern Washington. It will go over the fire, and hold a kettle of water, the coffee pot, or a frying pan. Nice for cooking and keeping food warm.
I'll head out with my son, his wife and children, early Tuesday. George will join us on the weekend for another five days. It will be an experiment, to see how our little grandson handles a long trip outdoors. We'll head east, then when George arrives we'll explore the Okanogan country in Northern Washington. Rugged outback country, warm during the day, cool at night up in the mountains. Options are open for return, dependin
g on how everyone is doing - I could stay out there all summer! I love exploring the Okanogan - excellent canoeing, hiking, and just gorgeous country.We had cold weather all weekend, a bit of rain. I did the last of my chores at the garden - including spreading slug bait. Those little buggers have thrived during the last several months.
But, the cold weather is the worst - we are about a month or more behind in production - these plants are still in the seedling stage, slightly thinned. The mustard has bolted.
Last year at this time, my garden was at it's peak; it has hardly grown at all this year.
Steve brought his special bike over today, hauling manure.
