My Mâche (and an update)


Remember the winter salad green I talked about last month? I wanted to show you what the mâche looks like now that the plants are a little bigger. Their growth pattern is called a rosette form. The leaves radiate from the center stalk near to the ground, stretching outward to allow the plant to absorb maximum sun, even in the cool season. I transplanted some of the seedlings into the garden the other day. I will keep fingers crossed that they have time to grow before winter. I couldn't plant them out until our weather cooled, which didn't happen until this past week. I'm excited to have another green that I can harvest in November and December.

The other news, my stepmom passed away. In spring, I told you she'd been diagnosed with a cancer that had spread already. My family drove to Arizona where she lived to see her in May. Several of you prayed for my stepmom, me and my family. I truly appreciate your prayers and kindness. Thank you.

I'll be back tomorrow with a new post. Have a great late-summer day, friends!

  5. Praying for comfort for all of you. If you are feeling overwhelmed, don't worry about blogging--this time can be overwhelming (although it is sometimes good to focus your mind elsewhere). We all want the best for you.

    Thanks for the mache update. They are pretty plants and I hope you get to enjoy eating them.
