a walk through my wetlands...

Everything is to wet and lush!

 The flowers must be loving it...

The ferns are happy...

 the Iris, not so much

But today I picked up my first CSA box of organic, locally grown vegetables: Spinach, arugula, carrots, radishes, mint, baby bok choy, and red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce.  They have obviously loved the rain!

Now, my challenge is to use up all those vegetables in a week before the new batch arrives.

I have challenged myself to "no waste" this year.  Just to see if I can do it,  even if I end up chopping up the leftovers and freezing them for soup later.  Tonight I'm making chicken soup for dinner and I'm going to chop up the radish tops and throw them in for greens.  Have you ever eaten radish tops before? I certainly haven't, but I bet they are peppery-delicious!
