      Garden Photos
      Except there are no actual photos of the garden!
      Early May meant a flush of strawberries, and so our first
      strawberry shortcake of the year with homegrown whipped cream.

      Edible pod peas and red raspberries.

      Pea and peanut salad with a dollop of mayonnaise.
      Greenhouse potato harvest. Not a lot, but I didn’t
      plant a lot. I’d call it a successful experiment!

      Mulberries

      Mulberry pancakes

      And then, since Dan has been talking about pineapple, I thought I’d make him an upside-down cake, substituting mulberries for those yucky candied cherries. Unfortunately, when I turned it out of the pan . . .
      Upside-down cake fail

      I think this is because I cut back on the sugar and butter, because I cut back on sugar and butter in all my cakes. That works for the cake, but didn’t give me enough sauce for the pineapple and berries. So it stuck to the pan! But it still tasted good and I learned a lesson for next time.
      Your turn. How does your garden grow?
