Hoping that my dear friend Nancy stopping by tomorrow will have time for lunch, I’m planning on stirfry with jumbo shrimp and shitake mushrooms since it’s quick and easy.
Love this start to the season of fresh vegies and grillwork. Can’t wait to pick plump tomatoes and fresh basil and dill. Every year around this time–that being too late to plant now–I remember that I should have put in onions and carrots and Chinese cabbage and okra and all the good things I used to farm on nearly a half acre of tilled garden soil.
The tomatoes are the size of quarters, there’s a bell pepper that’s about half grown, and the habaneros are blossoming though the plants are still small.
What I’d really like now though are the snow peas.
