It is easy this time of year to get the grocery store blues. You go to the grocery store because there is nothing to eat at home. After roaming the aisles for a long time looking for something inspiring to eat you manage to find some things to put in your cart.
You get home, unpack stuff and somehow for over a hundred dollars you still feel completely without inspiration in the kitchen. This is our experience in the winter and part of the spring. Produce from the store just doesn’t have the same ‘certain-something’. It’s hard to define. You might call it ‘je ne sais quoi’ or that little something; a quality that eludes description. We have been busy seeding in the greenhouse. The peas are up in our hoophouse. The herbs are starting to pop out of the ground. The nights have been cold this spring, so it may be a couple weeks before we get into the outdoor fields. We will plant spinach, scallions, lettuce, and assorted other greens in our hoophouse instead of the field so that we can stay on track to start our first deliveries in June. The inspiration in your kitchen from our garden is just around the corner. -Kelly

It must be nice having brothers or sisters whom you can spend time enjoying hobbies with. I have an older brother but we never got really close. I remember we also used to play just like any other normal kids but our mother's attitude left us feeling to empty to even care about each other. We never felt our father cared for us too. It left us selfish and always wanting to take everything for ourselves because we both felt nobody wants to give us anything and no one would love us aside from ourselves. I would like to correct this attitude and spend time with my brother before it's too late. We should be singing together and not fighting.
