Just in time for Spring… A Seed Library

Have you ever seen a Seed Library? We were so excited to see this when we popped into a library . What a wonderful treat!!
.
We were able to pick several seeds to plant and it helped to minimize our cost in buying seeds.
.
Plus it gave the littles an opportunity to pick things that we would not normally buy like a quinoa plant and a few others.
.
We are so happy to see this back in some of the libraries this spring! Have you seen one at your local library?

Harvesting Leeks


We harvested leeks from our garden this weekend and to say I was overjoyed is an understatement! We have tried to grow them before with no results and then this years harvest was amazing! 

.

We were able to fill the freezer with chopped leeks to add to one of our favorite soups .. leek and potato.. Yumm! 

.

The part of the leek that is generally harvested is the white bulb part, but that left all the leaves and so I wanted to know if I could use those . 

.

I was happy to find out they can be used to make stock and there are several recipes where they roasted them. We chose to try adding them to stock.

If you have a favorite leek recipe please share in comments ❤️
