I have been lagging in the photo department so I just ran outside at what turned out to be a great time for an extreme closeup of our first nasturtium flower. The sun was setting right behind it as I took this shot.
In garden news I put 2 afternoons of weeding this past weekend on the middle plots which have largely gone unplanted until now, ie: it was densely populated with weeds. Throughout I found a ton of cilantro which is our latest rogue plant in the garden and I also found 2 parsley plants and marigolds along the border that had seeded themselves. I couldn't just extract from the garden so when I was done I planted the beets that I had started from seed along with 4 tomato plants. Throughout the 2 day process I polished off a case of Cariboos so I guess I planted a tree in a round about way too. I try.
There are still a lot more tomatoes to plant and some Chocolate Mint that is still sitting in a small container. That stuff smells like it literally sounds it should. Reminds me of chocolate chip mint ice cream... Other than that the peas and the strawberries are coming in, any lettuce we moved is growing strong, and our kale is lookin pretty good too. I will have to post some more photos soon.
