First Pick of the Garden

Today we worked in the yard. It was our 1st day of mowing. Because the mowers & the tractor sat all winter, they needed a little maintenance. So a job that would usually take an hour or so took twice as long. But that's what comes with the beginning of a season. We already have our lettuce, spinach, & onions planted & are seeing the 1st signs of growth. I work all afternoon weeding the asparagus bed (I kept getting interrupted) & was able to cut a small handful! Soon we will be able to have our own fresh garden salad with rhubarb pie for dessert!
