5 Benefits of Cold Weather Play for Children: Boost Their Health & Happiness This Winter
Straining to fit into a boot. Whining about a finger caught in the wrong mitten. Searching for that elusive toque. Getting your kids outside to play...
A great deal of change happens in a garden over the span of two weeks. Thanks to my husband’s attentiveness while I was away the gardens are in good shape. With the hot weather that we’re having some of the crops are spent. I had to pull out the remaining spinach and radishes which had bolted and were going to seed. Now I have half a bed that’s empty and I’m trying to decide what to plant in the space. Any suggestions?
Your garden looks great! I would suggest planting delicata squash, if you don't already have that variety planted. It is one of our favourite squashes. The skin is very thin so it can be eaten as well. A simple recipe is to slice it lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, cut the squash into half moon pieces, toss with olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper and bake in the oven. And our girls both love it! Bon Appétit!
Great idea Lor! I'll see if I can find some.
Everything looks so great. Kudos to your hubby for keeping it all in good shape while you were gone…I rely on my hubby to do the same thing while the little man and I are away.
Enjoy your harvests.
Wow. What a harvest already!
You have a long enough season left that you could plant something like beans that don't take as long as squashes but love the heat.
