Progress


Allium. The one and only to succeed this season. Maybe a good thing. It smells like an onion! Next time, we'll place the bulbs in the ground.



A big surprise this Calla Lily is.  I never remember having these bulbs, which have reproduced three years consecutively. Again, after living in the city long enough I was scared to put bulbs in the ground. Next time, this will go in the ground.



The first of the Angel's Choir Shirley Poppies that we grew from seed. I am pleased to announce my impatient and reckless planting of these was successful. I dumped the entire packet in this basket! Don't do that!


Again, the most wonderful radishes. Their color is so brilliant. And they're taste so uncannily peppery. We have very much enjoyed growing these. Easy, fun, and beautiful. I would show you all our beautiful peas but they never make it past picking!


All the naughty cows in the vegetable garden. Doodle the pug is caught in the middle of a crime, for which I screamed at him to stop as I captured this moment. The progess of vegetables is slow. We have cantaloupe struggling, a couple butternut squash, beets, more radishes, leeks, multi-colored carrots, tomatoes, and maybe some onions showing life. I have to admit I am most excited about the beets, even though I love melon and squash. Wish us luck!
