I love spring! The flowers, the food, the temperature, all of it. We bought fiddleheads and ramps this week. For those of you who are not familiar (many of our present guests were not), a fiddlehead is a young fern which is harvested for only 2 weeks. In the picture beside the fiddleheads is a few ramps. Ramps are a wild onion, or a wild leek. We sauteed some fiddleheads and ramps together, and they were quite nice. Also in the picture is strawberry rhubarb pie.....with rhubarb grown right here at the Inn. We also made a potato and ramp soup which was tasty.
The other picture is the beginning of my garden shopping. We have had a long spell or rain, mist and fog. Usually, I have most of the gardens planted by now. The sun is just beginning to burn through the fog right now, and the forecast is for a warm week, so I will begin to plant this afternoon.
We have a full house this weekend, and remarkably, the guests are not complaining about the weather. We always have a good natured group here at the Log Cabin.
So, here is to spring! Off to get my garden trowel, Sue
