Brookside Organic Market

Sean and Ian got up early and drove over to the Brookside Farmer's Market this fine Saturday morning.  Oh what a bribe of the offer to buy coffee will do!

I picked up some kale transplants to the pack I bought last week.  I also bought Ian a tomato plant.  I bought 2 last week for myself.

I love spring!  I have begun putting my transplants into my raised beds. I am planning on letting my big garden bed in the back rest this summer.  I had the boys put tons of mulch on it. 

This is the first year where I finally have too much mulch!  I have never had enough.  I got my mulch by stopping and asking a crew that was doing tree trimming along the utilities on Blue Ridge Blvd.  I ask if they would drop off a load of their shredded stuff and they said sure!

I now have a huge pile of very roughly chipped wood in my driveway.

Vegan Mayo!

After buying 2 big, beautiful artichokes at Trader Joe's I decided to find a recipe for vegan mayo in which to dip my leaves!

I found this great recipe video from Toni Fiore at Delicious TV.
