The first 30 or so tomato plants are in the greenhouse.  It has warmed up a bit, finally getting day time temperatures into the 60's.  It may be too late for some of the fruit trees to be pollinated, but the bees are now officially flying.

Here is a shot of our newly planted garden outside of the kitchen.  Now that the area is fenced in, we are deer proof, everything is starting to take off, we have a mix of perennials and lots of culinary herbs, like various basils, thyme, sage, rosemary, lavender, chives, Bay, Artichoke, Nasturtiums, parsley, etc...

One of our spring favorite combinations, Local Morels and Ramps, served today with Troll Caught King Salmon from Ucluelet, British Columbia, not far at all from Orcas Island.

Tomorrow our little female Mangalitsa, Link, goes to Lopez Island for some piggy love.   She will be bred with Angus, a rather good looking young Berkshire boar.  So with any luck we will have some half Bershire - half Mangalitsa piglets.  Most likely we will only raise three of them here at the Inn.
