The sweetest, most fragrant apricots from the stan The sweetest, most fragrant apricots from the stand outside the main train station in Mainz, grown about 7.5km (5 miles) up the road in Mainz-Finthen. We’re perfectly happy eating them straight out of their paper bag, but I think I might make a cake on the weekend. Any suggestions? 🧡
Today, June 24, is officially the last day of whit Today, June 24, is officially the last day of white asparagus season. The spears won’t just disappear overnight: you can buy them for a few more days whilst stocks of already-harvested white asparagus lasts, but the longer you leave it, the less fresh it will be. But why does it end now? To allow the asparagus plants to regenerate for next year. They’ll grow up out of the earth and produce fern-like leaves so they can replenish their nutrients and produce enough energy to fuel next year’s crop. (I believe originally, 24 June was considered to be around 100 days before the first frost, giving the plants enough time to get going before the ground got too cold.) So long, white asparagus, see you next year 👋 I hope you’ve all had your fill!

I spent Saturday and Sunday drinking vast quantities of water, running (with limited success) away from mosquitos, and eating lunch in the cellar. I think I’ll be moving in there permanently if this keeps up. Any of you care to join me, or would you rather be outside in the baking heat? ☀️
