Subject: SNIPPETS: Super Simple Leek Potato Soup with...

“The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.”
~Hanna Rion, American novelist

Happy Monday, Gardener!

We hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend planning, planting and communing with nature! We sure did!

It’s been a week now where we’re getting into the rhythm of sending you daily Garden Snippets.

Please share freely, anything about what you like and don’t like. We love to share, but not if it’s not of interest or use to you. So if you’ll send us a note, we’ll do our best to give you more of what you want and less of what you don’t!

MONDAY’S MENU
Okay, so we actually made this on Saturday, but “Monday’s Menu” alliterates well, and we’re writers after all. :-)

BUT… this is a wonderfully simple and easy soup to make for any weekday or weekend. We make a huge pot and eat from it for part of the week.

AND… it uses some of our yard weeds and garden edibles!

Whenever we can’t find watercress in the stores, for salads, sandwiches or soups, we enjoy these watercress substitutes. Listed below in our order of preference:


You can see that on our recipe site in case you didn’t see it earlier this week on GardensAll.

That site is one of our daughter, Devani’s, future pet projects as she loves to get creative with cooking and taking food photos. :-)

Are you growing leeks in you garden? Please let us know if so and any tips you have.

We haven’t yet, but probably should, since we love ‘em and eat a lot of them. 
We’ve only grown them inside in water so far.

(LeAura texts to Coleman—who’s at the mountain property with Nikolai—to ask if he’s thought about growing leeks ;-))

Coleman texts back to say he just bought and planted 5 leek plants!

If you have any watercress recipes you’d like to share, send ‘em on and we’ll add them to the RecipesAndMe.com website with tribute to you (or the original source) of course!

Happy Monday in the Garden of Life!
