Spring Harvest

Our strawberries and peas have been abundant this year. I actually got enough ripe strawberries at once to make a batch of strawberry jam!

Our peas have also produced prolifically. Justin and my mom enjoyed them the week my parents were here. They are still producing like crazy. I am making a minty pea soup tonight that is almost all from ingredients we have grown ourselves (peas, mint, chard, onions, and chicken stock). The only ingredient not homegrown is the chicken stock (next year at this time, however, even that ingredient will be homegrown!).

I hope you all are enjoying your spring as well.
