Picture Post!

Oh, who am I kidding?  They're all picture posts.  I don't really have anything to update on, but it was such a nice day...

Lavender has one teeny tiny bloom!  So cute.  I'm really proud of my lavender.  She fought hard to hang in there, and now she seems to be doing great!  Good thing I didn't hack it down like I was tempted to do...

Chard seems to be enjoying the sun.  Since moving it back to the patio, it hasn't been munched on as much.

Oregano.  I hacked them down so that they could put more growth into their roots.  I have no idea if that even works, haha.  I just like to make things up as I go and try to sound like I know what I'm doing.

Kale is happy and getting pretty big!  It's a dwarf variety, so it's not supposed to get super huge, but I do think I'm going to have to thin these.  Which means sometime in the next couple of weeks we will be eating baby kale, I guess.

Broccoli.

Basil is growing.  So... at this rate we should have basil by, say, November?  Ahaha, I kid.

Thyme.  Quick, someone help me remember what variety this is!  I'm too lazy to step outside and look at the tab.

Sure is pretty...

More squishies.

The upper right corner is conspicuously empty.  That's where I planted the cucumbers.  Hope they come up soon!

Okay, fine, you can see it.

I need to figure out a spot for this broccoli plant...

The beans in the middle aren't coming up, and some of the new ones look really strange.  Hopefully they just have bed head or something...

The best looking one of the bunch.

Wildflower seed progress.  I suppose I should consider thinning these out just a bit...

The ivy is beginning to block out the sun.

Babies birds are getting bigger too!

Peas are blooming!

They still don't look as healthy as I'd like...  I'm wondering if growing them close together is really such a great idea.  I was told you could grow them close and they would climb each other, but they just don't look as good as they did last year when I had them spaced farther apart.

My 3 year old ate a head of spinach out of the bag because it was starting to form a bud, and I had heard they lose their flavor when they bloom.  She was adorable walking around the yard, snacking on her big bouquet of spinach.

Thank you, come again!  And be sure to tell your friends!

Cilantro has me thinking of fish tacos every time I go outside.  Also, it turns out I'm hungry.

Some of the strawberries are starting to come around.

Others, not so much.

Sorry to finish on such a hideous note, but there you have it.

The end.
