My daughter who is eight saw Mickey Murch's show at Gallery Route One
with my husband today. Many people told us we should.
When they came home Savilia didn't come into the house for lunch. I
didn't know they had returned but when I looked out into the garden
Savilia was slipping under the remay cloth that is keeping the quail
from our lettuce starts.
After awhile I called to her in her garden play house to ask if she
wanted some lunch. She said, "No, I am making lunch!" She later
brought in a plate with a salad she had prepared and offered it to us.
She also told me she had been to Mickey's show, watched the film,
brought home a lettuce start, understood directions to plant the
lettuce and make a salad.
She made salad out of purslane and dill and tomatoes and a barely ripe
strawberry and meyer lemon juice all harvested from our garden. It was
a delicious salad. I have never tasted purslane prepared so well.
That's encouragement to see the show.
PS Purslane is considered a weed by many. And indeed it takes over our
garden when we let it. But I have heard it has a high percentage of
Omega 3 oils and is very nutritious.
