of sorts. I dug these few just yesterday.  Rather pathetic, unless you remember that I didn't plant Garlic at all last fall, so where t...

All my little Oregano plants have really outgrown their small containers. So I recently potted them up; the ones in clear recycled ice-crea...

Recent salad made with the very last of my Simspon Lettuce, and some of the first Cherry Tomatoes. The lettuce had been cut weeks earlier a...

No more Mint tea for me, although I might still make it for my husband, he loves the refreshing taste. And I'll keep growing the plants,...

First Tithonia flower! I wasn't expecting it yet, as none of the plants are higher than my knee and most are actually pretty small. I d...

My first attempt making fresh tea from my own grown herbs. And I'm not really a big fan of tea. Everyone clamored to try the Chocolate M...

I haven't had much chance to get out and photograph in the garden, but things are happening there in spite of my neglect (at weeding and...

Green Beans are really coming on! In spite of the fact that several of the plants have gotten bug-eaten and never grew large (and I'm to...

All the Lettuces are bolting now. The Romaines have already shot up tall and the ruffly Simpsons are starting to grow upwards, too. I cut fi...
