The unpredictable weather this season has most gardeners dancing the quickstep, and I find myself doing a jig right along. There are flowers on all of my potatoes already. Last season they didn't appear until July.

Harvesting the perishables has begun with a passion. An unexpected heat spell has the spinach and arugula bolting already. Nothing bolted last season, until July. But I adore spinach, so who's complaining.

| Organic Spinach |
I've always had trouble growing spinach until this year when I ignored the directions on the seed packets and just scattered the seeds on top of the soil. Now I have spinach galore. Spinach seeds need a good dose of light to germinate, so it's a curiosity that seed packets always instruct you to cover them.

| Organic lettuces |
It's fabulous to dig into the fresh and abundant salad greens teaming with nutrients again. The lettuces are so flavorful they don't need anything more than a splash of olive oil and red wine vinegar as dressing.
If anyone has a recipe that uses sage flowers please hook me up, as my sage bushes are both flowering up a storm. Cheers!
