a day in the life of a latvian mom

My very first harvest from the garden this year!

I stepped into the greenhouse and suddenly realized how much the salad had grown already. And dill!

And the best part — it had self-seeded.

Without much planning or effort from me, there it was: soft green salad leaves and dill.

Peaked at my rased beds and a little radishes, spring onions, rocket, and tender bak choi quietly growing. And the dew sitting on the bak choi leaves!

So of course I had to bring some inside and make a proper spring salad.

I added a few sliced radishes, kefir and some dandelion petals on top. Simple food, but it tasted like the beginning of the gardening season. Fresh, crunchy, full of life after the long winter.

These tiny harvests always feel special. Not because they are big, but because they remind me that the garden wakes up every year, even after cold, dark months.

And honestly — food picked a few minutes before eating just tastes different.
