A Quick Photo Update

We are still waiting on our new camera, but with the gorgeous weather this weekend and endless sunshine, it's been easy to get a few good shots with the iPhone instead. Before we head out to see what our neighborhood is up to on this beautiful Easter Sunday, we wanted to provide a few photos of the garden's progress.

Beet thinnings:

Arugula:
Radishes:

The thinning of the squash (so traumatic):



Although we started the garden in an effort to eat seasonally and very, very local, I've gone a little crazy with the flowers lately too. 


Evidence that the repotting of the lilies was a success:


Cosmos looking so beautiful that I forget we bought them for a functional purpose, to attract good insects:


An awesome potted succulent arrangement in a white elephant (just like a teapot I bought my mother) - from, can you believe, Home Depot:


Some beautiful spring-like flowers whose name I always forget from the farmer's market:

That's all for now. Time to get out into the day!

  1. I love the elephant - thought you were posting a pic of mom's at first!

    So many things! All I have is mr. planty, but he is doing well also!

  2. The flowers in the last picture are ranunculus and they are my favorite! Unfortunately, their planting season is over, according to the good folks at Sloat.
