FRESH PICKINGS

The garden beside Barque’s patio ain’t just pretty – its edible!

The celery, kale, peppers and tomato are getting bigger, the herbs I saw last week seem to be heading for a second harvest.

UPON FURTHER REFLECTION

This shady nook on Grenadier offers an eye to the sky…

The plant is prolific with blooms – but what an existential oddity that each lasts a mere 24 hours! It really puts a new spin on carpe diem.

NOW

A FEW WEEKS AGO

This pretty wildflower with edible leaves and medicinal properties is a pleasant surprise guest in my garden this year…

BUT! As they say: location, location, location.

BECAUSE: A weed is just a plant out of place.

SO: I think I’ll nip this in the bud – literally – before it self sows.

Anyone interested in the seed, lmk.

… Blue morning glory at 33 Grenadier – today!

…I suspect its a weed, don’t recall planting it, certainly didn’t plant it here. It’s about 2.5 feet tall today… I’ll give it another week….
