Such pretty eggs!

I love going out in the late morning after I’ve heard the girls sing their “egg song” a few times and finding these pretty gems every day!

Do the different colors taste different? No! But I am a firm believer that you eat with your eyes first and if you are visually attracted to your food, you’re more likely to eat it! Especially when it comes to fresh, healthy food!

That’s why food companies l work hard to make their food LOOK good and make their packaging eye catching (even if what is in the package isn’t really food).

Luckily Mother Nature has her own flashy food! Things like rainbow carrots, cherry tomatoes en every color, fruits with bright colors, and yes, even eggs with pretty shell colors!

Free lemon balm alert!

One of the casualties of the last 2 years is a totally overgrown herb garden that was taken over by pretty much one thing…

The lemon balm.

It’s more than I can use so come and grab a bundle!

Porch pick up in Pine Grove or I can meet in Folsom on Fridays.

Lemon balm makes amazing teas, oils and salves! And bonus, it smells amazing!!

Is it ever too late to start a garden?

Not in my book!

Around here, we had snow and freezing temps way later than usual and I held off starting my seeds… but apparently we jumped right into summer and my seedlings are a little behind!

With that said, so many people have messaged me to ask if I’ll be doing my annual plant sale this year and the answer is…

YES!

It’s later than usual, but hopefully you’re starting your garden late too!! It still counts as spring before June 21st anyway!!

The sale is planned for June 11th (subject to change) and when all starts are ready they’ll also be available for order/pick up!

So I’ll see you all in a couple weeks!
