Cooking with Chive Blossoms
We have a bunch of chive blossoms and I didn't want them to go to waste. So last night, I tried out a new recipe for Avocado Soup with Chive Blossoms.
The verdict? I thought it was quite good with a strong taste of spring. Kate on the other hand thought it was a little too thick and wasn't quite sure about the chive blossoms.
I think the next experiment will be adding chive blossoms to eggs.

The 2012 Gardening Season has begun
Started the garden today. We have big plans for a garden expansion, but so far just a few plants in raised bed #1: cucumber, peppers, onions, leeks, kale (2 types), chives, basil, thyme, rosemary, carrots and roma beans.

Mother Earth
This summer was our first real experience gardening. We built a raised bed garden and planted lots of vegetables. With the help and guidance of friends and family, it was a huge success and I've already started plotting next years garden expansion.
About all that's left in the garden is some kale, herbs and the brussels sprouts. It's been quite sad to watch the rest of the plants go, but there's a season for everything right. I decided we should try to save the rosemary, thyme and parsley by bringing them inside for the winter, and thus a shopping quest was born.
We headed over to Mother Earth Gardens, our neighborhood garden supply store where we went several times throughout the summer for supplies and plants. In fact, I used at least two 2011 Chinook book coupons there over the summer.
Mother Earth Gardens is great. I really like their selection and the quality of the products, and they're very friendly. The location is nice too and I appreciate not having to go to a big box store for my attempts at being local. That being said, they are a little more pricey than what you'd find at a larger chain establishment, but the location convenience is great.
We picked up three pots for the herbs and found a base on sale for our potted blueberry bush that we also want to bring inside for the winter.
Coupon = $5 off $25 or more
Savings = $5
Here are some pictures from the summer gardening adventure:
