Just didn't want you to miss it. . .

summer is awesome

I've been so caught up in work and my artwork and my friends' good news and tragedies, that I've been more or less ignoring the garden. Luckily, it's been raining every few days and the husband waters pretty faithfully. So, it's been chugging along without me.

But I decided to take stock today--do a little weeding, plant basil in back (for pesto!) and hostas out front (for curb appeal!) and give the whole thing a once over. And this is what I found:

out of nowhere. . . zucchini

My first nasturtium flower.

tiny baby green beans.
we'll be rolling in them soon.

and l.p. thinks gardening is pretty serious business.
