Picked a couple of yogurt containers worth of blackberries this morning. I love the abundance wild vines, as well as how much more flavorful these berries are than store bought. If you’d like suggestions for safe foraging, check out this post:

Seeds are planted in their egg cartons and placed in windows out of reach of the big orange 🐈. This year’s goodies for my tiny garden include spinach, lettuce, arugula, sugar snap peas, basil, and squash, as well as green onions sprouting in a glass. #gardenfarm #climatevictorygarden
