This morning, we picked our very first Minnesota-grown zucchini! Joe is chopping up the flower to add to his veggies for lunch, and the zucchini itself will be part of mine. It’s a nice little milestone from our garden. We grew radishes last fall, and we've been harvesting a few each day since. Our kale is doing exceptionally well. Once the rain lets up, I’ll be picking our first crop of green beans too.
Speaking of rain—it’s been coming down most of the day for the past two days. I don’t mind it; the garden and yard are getting all the water they need without much effort from us. Yesterday, there were flash flood warnings for many of the counties around the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area. Luckily, we're far enough from the river that it hasn’t affected us directly. That said, the Crow River has been running high since early spring, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see flooding soon on my favorite drive home from Megan’s, along a quiet backroad between Hanover and Saint Michael.
Tonight is Caleb’s first swim meet, and we’re excited for him!
Even with the soggy weather, it feels good to be settling into summer routines—watching the garden grow, cheering Caleb on, and finding joy in the small things each day.
