As the weather warms the grownups in our house are craving baby lettuces a fresh peas. Unfortunately for us, the ground won't yield such treasures for some time. We did plant our peas, lettuce, spinach and kale today, and I personally am dreaming of a wilted baby spinach salad and maybe some lovely lemon cookies for dessert. That dream will have to wait at least until Easter.
We're forever trying to get our kids to enjoy their veggies. Today Eli planted the peas in the little holes we made for them. He also helped with the greens, but their seeds are so small it can be difficult for little hands. In any case, he seems a lot more excited about spinach and kale than ever before and we're all plotting how to enjoy and savor the fruits of the forthcoming season!
