Sorry - I didn't mean to malign cabbage, but we do use it sparingly. By "picking at" it, we get to add it to salads and to stir-frys on a regular basis. Thanks for the herb suggestions.

It's been - as usual here - a mixed bag for fruit. The snow didn't get out of the huckleberry fields (higher elevation) until mid-June or later. On the other hand we had apple turnovers this morning, just from the fruit drop. The apples are so plentiful that the trees are shedding.
