​Happy Memorial Day!  For many today is the unofficial first day of Summer.  Pools are open and the warm weather activities begin.  It is also a day of remembrance and honor to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.  
This is the weekend for picnics and barbeques and salads.  We were surprised to see the first bounty of our Snap Peas coming out.  Our first salad with our very own Snap Peas was made yesterday and it was so good.  Sweet and crunchy with our own home-grown lettuce.  

Lots of weeding and thinning happening in the Carondelet Garden this weekend.  Along with the harvest of Snap Peas we are also reaping the bounty of Romaine and Buttercrunch Lettuce.  We cut succors off of our San Marzano Tomato plants yesterday.  It's been very busy but so satisfying.  

Today should be the perfect day for swimming pools around Saint Louis.  The high in the upper 80s with a mix of clouds and sunshine.  The winds are out of the South at 10 to 20 MPH.  A beautiful day to get outside and enjoy your favorite summer activity.  Be good and be kind to yourself and others as you continue your journey today.  Have a safe and happy Memorial Day Gardening Friends!
