We've been home for a week.  During this time we've had our first taste of summer - literally. We have started harvesting cucumbers, zucchini, just a couple handfuls of raspberries and tomatoes, and, wait for it, two blueberries! Jam making has commenced as well: Apricot, Vanilla, White Wine and Strawberry Thai Herb.  Our lovely and creative housemate, Beth, helped with these and now we take a breather before this weekend's Plum Cardamom followed by a Tomato Sauce Extravaganza in a couple weeks.
