a mid-month glance

A new arrival! Flowers on the bean plant this morning!

New friends: three promising pepper varieties, two lagging brassicas...


I was thinking I might thin the carrots today...

A final glance at the herb bed before heading in to eat a slice of "A Hint of Orange" Yogurt Bread with my pup.

just BEAUTIFUL smells

Our citrus trees blossomed this week - lemons, limes, grapefruits and oranges - and the air is thick with the most heavenly smell. It might top basil! Even vanilla!
