This recipe is cooking up sooo nicely! 🍳

Warm weather + scattered showers + sunny days = a garden on the move! 🌦️

You can feel the gentle energy of the plants reaching upward! 🌿

How can it be that we plant these tiny seeds or starter plants and then in weeks they are gloriously unrecognizable?

We get to see the full potential and purpose of the plant as it becomes who it was created to be! ✨

You can hear the busy insects as they work their magic (and sometimes destruction) on the plants! 🐛

I’ve been learning about millipedes lately!

They’ve been some of the most common insects in the garden this year, and the extra-moist spring has a lot to do with it!

I absolutely love that the art of gardening is a process — things you learn in real time as they come up! Thank you, Google Lens! 📷

And you can TASTE the amazing produce that’s already gifting toward us! 🍅🥬

Zucchini, beans, basil, lettuce, swiss chard! It’s all a gift from garden to table! 🥒🌿

Because there’s definitely something to “eating with the seasons.”
