This past week saw our first heat wave … thankfully shortlived, but we did hit 90F (32C) on Thursday. And with long day\/short night of nearly Summer Solstice … semi-miserable for me (heat wimp) and Emmett (black, long haired doggo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But … Emmett LOVES playing in the hose and sprinkler so we subbed that for afternoon long walks and both of us got our exercise and cooled off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the fans came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mornings are us … especially when it starts to get hot…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, YIKES … even with last week’s rain, it is a bit scary dry…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the food front …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to harvest the microgreens!

Pea shoots! Incredible … the aroma when cutting is of fresh peas and the shoots taste like fresh peas. I love them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pea shoots on the left, broccoli shoots on the right … delicious and crunchy greens for sandwiches and salads this week … home grown :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmett says: “Ok, but now it is time to play outside!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
