29 Sep 2008First handful: Sugar Snap Peas 1 1 Super Sugar Snap Harvesting and Back Fence Garden gardenSunny 19°C / 67°F

11 Sep 2008We've got yellow! 1 Mammoth Sunflower Flowering and Back Fence Garden gardenCloudy 17°C / 63°F
The mammoth sunflowers are flowering and oh so lovely. It amazes me how long they take to open and stretch out. They are a bee’s delight with all of the pollen. The spiders seems to have figured out they are a good place to find lunch.

11 Sep 2008So beautiful 2 1 Mesclun and Back Fence Garden gardenCloudy 17°C / 63°F
The mesclun mix, despite the work of the caterpillars, is really filling in and giving me daily goodness for the table. It’s actually a pretty short row, but they really have produced. I just love the look of all the different leaves and the bite that they add to the salads these days.
