welcoming summer

YAY today was the last day of school. I got home and drank like a gallon of water! lol. ok I'm exaggerating slightly. But I was so thirsty. And then I had a little snack and went outside to forage some dandelion, clover, arugula, and other greens to add to my surprisingly delicious green smoothie. When I was down I went in my greenhouse to check on ( Read more... )

Oh poor birdy! That was really sweet of you to help it :) I wouldn't have known what to do, poor thing.

You can eat dandelions?? o_O
Heyyyyy there are strawberries in my garden! Isn't that cool? I just found them on Saturday.

MMM wild strawberries are so yummy, thats so cool. We had wild strawberries and lots of wild blueberries at my dad's house. we used to just pick them and eat them.
and yep you can totally eat dandelions, I think every part is edible but I have only eaten the greens. They are yummy in green smoothies and really nutritious. I usually only but a few leaves in my smoothies which adds just a hint of nice bitter flavor (not the gross kind of bitter). But like 3 cups of the leaves has more calcium, iron, vitamin E, vitamin A, thiamin, niacin, folate, riboflavin, magnesium, vitamin B-6, copper, magnesium, vitamin C, (ok the list goes on and on) than milk. I totally just looked that up. lol.

I've only just tried a strawberry on Saturday. The ones we have growing aren't all red yet, just a few of them are. The lady who used to live her must have planted them, we have a mystery garden. She apparently had a vegetable garden too.

That's really interesting. Hahah I don't know anything about food or nutrition. Only the stuff about carbs and lipids and proteins we learned in bio.

ohh did you like the strawberry? sarah used to say she "hated" them and wouldn't try one because it had seeds on the outside, now she absolutely adores them. Thats so cool to have a mystery garden. You said there were irises right? They are soo pretty, we have some purple and yellow ones ( ... )
