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!
