new improvements to the vege patch



head start on Spring this year.
a visit to the local reverse truck site, and we came home with a few bits and pieces to construct some solar pyramids. we have small plants of rhubarb inside one and spinach in the other. 
will be interesting to see how they develop . I entered my hand inside one to compare the temperature to the outside , and it felt somewhat warmer in comparison, so here's hopng the plants will enjoy the humidity.




Our little plot brings us much enjoyment. Growing we have many herbs which we use regularly in our cooking. Amongst them, dill, parsley, lemon balm, mint,  thyme sage and oregano. I think dill is a current favorite as we recently used it to enhance a dish of polish periogis. 



More cooking adventures, and a recent bake. A pear and almond cake.
sans the eggs, dairy and gluten, a really special treat.
