“I’m late! I’m late! For a very important date!” I’m feeling a little Mad Hatter this Tuesday. 
My coffee cup is still sitting where I left it this morning…before the ortho and an impromptu fishing trip. With 9 lakes in our city limits, it’s not hard to find a pier somewhere close to fish from.
The good news…for us… is that we actually caught a couple. More of an appetizer than an entree.
Happy T stands for Tuesday!
This edition of T stands for Tuesday is all about my garden….my edible garden that is.
First we have the obligatory beverage. In my case, this morning, it’s still coffee resting along the deck rail. I have three boxes of herbs here and two really sad looking pots behind me in the photo. They are so scraggly and pathetic that I am ready to throw them out. 
My raised bed is doing really well this year. I think having some tree limbs above it trimmed has really helps get the needed sunshine.
Some of my lettuce is ready for a sandwich or salad. I’m thinking I need to boil some eggs for an egg salad sandwich…oh yum. 
This year I decided to plant more than one cucumber plant since in previous years I’ve had such poor production. I also changed the location. They seem to be loving it here. Hopefully I’ll be seeing lots of little cukes from all those blossoms real soon.
My “big garden” has tons of green bean plants that are covered in blossoms and lots of tiny beans beginning to form.
The tomato plants in this garden aren’t looking so great. These are my large red variety vs the small yellow pear shaped ones in the raised bed. Hopefully they will produce some tomatoes.
In addition, I have 4 plants at my in-laws house…2 of each variety. Big J is mowing their lawn this summer so I took them up on the offer of using some of their garden space.
Our CSA farm share has been pretty meager so far. The weather here in MN has been less than ideal. So many fields are under water. What we’ve gotten from the farm share has been good quality…just not much in the quantity.
Another busy Tuesday for me…I’ll be around to visit as soon as I can…
What are you doing today?
I’m very late getting to my T stands for Tuesday post. I really wanted to get a workout in this morning…then there was grocery shopping to do. After that we had a date with the beach. I, of course, had my trusty water bottle with me…
Our local beaches had been closed for a few days due to exceptionally high lake levels. All the area lakes are “wake free” zones. No speed boating, trolling for fish, jet skis or anything that moves enough water to create a wake….that’s the V-shaped pattern in the water behind a boat for those of you without lots of water around. 
The sand beach usually goes out to where the kids are playing. They don’t’ seem to mind though. There were still tons of families out enjoying the day.
It was just perfect.
Now since I’m well hydrated but still a little thirsty…
I think it’s time for one of these.
