Today was a busy day at 111. Since we weren't in the garden last week there was lots to take care of. We harvested cucumbers, zucchini, malibar spinach, mustard greens and our first tomato. We also cleared two of the raised beds that had the cranberry beans. Those plants had dried up and we had harvest all of the beans last time we worked in the garden. In the same beds, there were also a bunch of sunflowers that unfortunately fell over, so we took those out so that there would be room for us to plant some new seeds. Once everything was cleared we planted brussels sprouts and rainbow carrots, they should be ready to harvest in the fall.
After lunch we had this year's first foray into baking! We made a peach gallette, or free form pie. We had to cut up the peaches, roll out the dough, assemble everything and brush the crust with an egg wash so that it would turn golden and shiny. While the gallette was baking, we picked a few edible flowers from the garden, nasturtium and johnny jump ups, to decorate the finished pie. Which, if I do say so myself, was delicious!
