Great weather. ("good on clothes!")
Rare that we can't run the cook stove. Trinity Harbour is full of boats...well, maybe 12 It seems years since we have had such a good long stretch of clean days.
Lots of talk of wells running dry.

Fish for dinner, catching our quota.

The heat will speed up your garlic. I had a great harvest of scapes before I left NY.
And did notice one variety did get woody before others. So I harvested what I could
early. Made pesto, fresh fridge pickles, and froze a couple containers with sautéed
mushrooms and leeks. (the scapes I added off the heat of the pan at the end).

If they bolt, a quick pickle might be a way to preserve them. I also like to pickle them
with nasturtium buds. Wide mouth canning jar can go right into the freezer as another
option.

What a treat to have a chef in the family.
