Radish Break

Despite the pesky slugs chomping at the leaves, we had our first taste from the square foot garden: classic radish on brown bread with butter. Yum! :)

How Does Your Garden Grow?

I'm happy to report that mine is actually still alive and thriving! :) How is your garden growing?

Still waiting, waiting...

My garden newbies--just added Sharpblue and Southmoon blueberries.

Tangerines and miniature roses from the patio garden.

Progress!! Everything is growing and fruiting. We even harvested our first eggplant and some radishes. Planning on a mesclun salad tomorrow for lunch.

Clockwise from top left: Japanese cucumber, "Black Beauty" zucchini, zucchini blossom.

"Wonderful" pomegranate.

My Latest Experiment

Ever find that one sweet potato lurking in the deep recesses of your pantry or drawer or wherever you keep your sweet potatoes? You know, the one growing legs and arms and antennae? Well, I decided to take those "slips" and root them. Gonna try growing my own sweet potatoes. Think it's almost time to plant these. This should be interesting . . .

Lazy, Hazy Sunday

A peaceful, gray day. Early morning in the garden, now relaxing with a little Ella and chardonnay candles...

My favorite roses.

Strawberries and thyme.

New centerpieces for our patio table.

Our new square foot garden with veggies, herbs, and seeds of "ruby" swiss chard, radish, nasturtium, and mesclun lettuce mix. Pray for germination!

Clockwise from top: bell peppers, "Ichiban" eggplant, Japanese cucumber, "husky" cherry tomato, flat leaf parsley, "black beauty" zucchini.

Happiness is . . .

Flowers.

And food.
