Wow, my peonies are just starting to put up little green shoots, and even the local wild asparagus hasn't put in an appearance yet! We're in the ramps stage at present.

Everything is about a month behind here.  

 

We had very little spring.  Went from cold to summer in like a day.

Traditionally, gardeners here don't plant outside until the May long weekend, which is upon us now (ours isn't quite in sync with yours). We had our (hypothetically) last night of frost a couple of days ago, so tradition in this case is pretty much spot-on.

Our existing grill....is pretty sad looking.  It will be so nice to have this one.  I still can't believe he did this for us.

When my Weber died I disassembled it and buried the top and bottom in the garden then planted mint in the halves.

Ok, so, I'm a little hesitant to post this........  it's so gourmet and fancy that I'm sure you all will be on my doorstep in order to partake.  

 

Please, please try and restrain yourselves.

Big-time jealous. Now we are looking at the possibility of buying a new house and moving within the next couple of years, so I'm hesitant to plant an asparagus bed.

Ain't nothin' wrong with that. I like me some pickle roll-ups. Try rolling up the pickled okra.

The porch is done......it looks A-MAZ-ING.  I can't even express my thanks to our friend.  He does too much.  He's currently mowing....he claims it's relaxing lol. 

 

Anyway, with work being mostly done, tomorrow can be a fun day (I hope) of fishing.  So, I made breakfast again--I asked if they wanted something different, but they opted for the same (except using my homemade bread instead of store bought bagels).

 

I cannot seem to make eggs without breaking a yolk  9_9

I'm off to start cooking--opted for Ann's chicken and probably some lo mein and some pork belly.....I was going to make egg rolls but discovered I'm out of wrappers.  I have 4 still in the freezer so we will make do.

I had the worst craving for onion dip and Ruffles the other day.  I came THIS close to going to the store for onion soup mix and chips.  I can't remember what I ate instead but I'm pretty sure it wasn't as good!

Is that okra from this year's garden already? Or from last year's garden?

No no the okra was from last year :)  I only have one jar left.  Hopefully the okra grows this year.

 

Nah.....well, homemade bread just does trump store bought....

My guys were super exhausted .  They have worked so hard.  

 

They sat outside on the new porch/deck and enjoyed the nice evening.  I have to admit, I wish I could have sat out there too!  But, I was cooking and that's just the way it goes :)

 

Ann's honey garlic chicken with some of my cowboy candy to make it a bit more spicy

I did pork belly in the IP with some broth from the Asian market....always good.   And I had 4 egg rolls left in the freezer so that was perfect.

I didn't get a picture of our friends plate...but he declared this the best meal of the week so far :)  

 

I've done as many dishes as I can, I'm pooped and this DAMN poison ivy is the pits.

 

See ya'll in the morning and thanks for reading :)

Good morning!  Almost afternoon already.  

 

Phew.

 

The guys went fishing today.  I hope they catch enough for dinner!

 

I weeded the garden.  I'm glad to have gotten it done.

 

I don't think I've shared the picture of the bench that Ronnie made me so that I can sit and view the garden.  My other one rotted over the winter.

Chum approved.

 

Anyway, here is my view of the garden this morning from the bench.

I had Ruffles and onion dip for breakfast.   I am such a healthy eater.

Same.  I treated myself to one a number of years ago with some birthday money and I have yet to try it out.

Love the bench!  And Chum!  And if we were not on a flood watch here, I'd be on the way to the store for the makings for chips and dip.  I am really craving it now.  Wonder if Mr. Kim would be willing to stop on the way home?

Is there any other/better way?  :D  

 

The guys texted that they are on their way home.  With tons of fish.  And they are hungry.  They requested turkey sandwiches and more onion dip and chips.  

 

Excuse the paper plates.  I am on dishwashing strike for a couple hours.

All the food looks wonderful. I love the bench! And the garden is looking good, too. Perfect to have a place to sit and watch it grow. Though I know that Chum secretly believes that bench was built just for her.  xD

 

Would love to see the new porch, if you are willing to share a photo. 

 

How many freezers do you have?
