Sometimes, I have to look carefully for signs of growth and change. They amaze me, these growing things.
There's something about the tendrils, so fragile, so determined...
I admire their tenacity.
The peas are shy in the beginning, hiding their first flowers.
A nascent cabbage.
The carrots, feathery and small, are finally coming along. Bird can't wait to pull one up and eat it fresh.
Sometimes I can see the fruit in the flower, hope and promise in a wee blossom.
The dill didn't want to be photographed.
The sage may not be very big, but it's strong...
...and the basil is promising. I am dreaming of fresh pesto and homemade pasta sauce.
We've had some berries from these plants, and there's nothing like 'em. Warm, sweet, succulent - we're already planning to expand the bed next year.
We have a Lima bean flower! I adore Lima beans.
I had never seen a bean flower before today. Pretty...
A pregnant pod...
How does your garden grow?
If the deer didn't get everything I'd have a garden. The strawberries in pots are doing well, though.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a treat to look through the flowering plants and find something like a small tomato, or cuke, or anything else that will fall prey to the dinner table?
ReplyDeleteSoon I'll be taking a salt shaker to the garden spot with me...just in case!
It's all looking good, my friend!
