The garlic is uncovered and growing well, a sure sign that summer is around the corner, we also dug the full bed of parsnips the other day. Parsnips are a unique veggie in that you plant them in late summer, let them grow and then let the snow cover them. This winter in-ground storage serves to turn their starches into sugars insuring a delectable sweet earthy flavor. But hands down the best part about them is that they are available to eat now, in the time when the only other things are salad and wild leeks.

Stay tuned,
