Lavendar, spinach, and three tiny new potatoes: those were Mom’s offerings laid out on the kitchen table when I returned from doing errands. Add the three snap peas I picked, and you see what kind of garden harvest we are having this summer.
I put the overgrown, bitter spinach leaves aside. The potatoes went in a pot with a few larger store-bought ones. Each of us enjoyed one pea pod, raw. You’ll be glad to know that I supplemented this meal with a salad and a pot roast.
The lavender, I found out when my brother came over for dinner, was a gift from friends Steve and Coletta. That information solved the mystery—Mom assumed she had picked it, and I could not remember seeing lavender anywhere on our property. Its lovely purple and heavenly fragrance grace my bedroom, our living room, and the kitchen.
