Days of Summer #1

I am often asked what exactly it is I do aaaaaall day long in the summer, given I am not at work. Typically my answer is something like, “what don’t I do??!” The days fly by, a blur of friends, family, projects, gardening, trips, time in the studio, so on and so forth….But I thought in honor of that question, I’d do a little experiment and document here for you my many days of summer through a series of short “mini blog” posts. Here goes!

Day 1

After two days of weird freakishly winter like rain, my garden was looking a little raggedy. Dahlias flopped over, tomatoes falling out of their cages, things basically in need of some TLC. So that was what I did this evening. Staking, a little weeding, and some harvesting. Most exciting discovery was the first of the cherry tomatoes and a TON of leeks. Tonight’s homework assignment: find leek recipes.
