But...

anyone who knows me, know what my favorite flowers are. And now I have my own! In several colors.

In Bloom

Along with veggies, we've also got some local color. These big blue, pom-pom like flowers are called Agapanthas and grow nearly like weeds here. I have, as they say, heaps of them in blue and white. They are pretty but can get a bit big and the stems are nearly as tall as I am. Some of these may be coming out of the garden next year.

After the rain this week, I made another floral discovery in the garden. A pink cyclamen. This one may be a keeper.

How does your garden grow?

Pretty well, I'd say for a first timer. my first batch of lettuces and arugula are nearly done and the Roma tomatoes are just about to turn red. Soon we'll have more radishes, spring onions, peppers and eggplant. I have learned that summer squashes take up a bit more space than I anticipated and have to be tamed.
