Swiss Chard

Just look at this 'Bright Lights' Swiss Chard. It's growing like crazy right now.


Did you see those colors?


Saute with some olive oil, onions and garlic...mmmm. It's even toddler approved.

A Dream Come True

Fozzie has finally found a grazing partner.


(Does anyone else find this relationship weird?)

Toddler + paint project + distracted mom =

(Yes, he tracked it across the family room carpet, across the kitchen tile and onto the up-until-now pristine patio to tell me what he had done.)

Wee Bunny

Look what the dogs cornered the other day.


Probably no bigger than my hand....or Olie's head.


As far as I could tell it made a clean get away....until the hawk get's it.

Another Garden Update

Lots coming up here!

Mmmm...swiss chard.


The first tomato! (Sweet 100's again along with some herlooms.)


More squash...I think they're squash. I don't remember planting all of these. I know there are some mini sunflowers at the end.


Glorious, glorious blackberries. Almost here...



A look up from inside the 'corn field'.


Mmm corn...Blue Jade. With a squash and pepper in the foreground.


Since they're mini corn, do you think they'll be "knee-high by the Fourth of July" on this guy? Actually, I guess they're already past that.


Holy Mole pepper.


Look at my heuchera! It's never looked so good.


It's actually going to bloom for the first time since I bought it about 6 years ago.


And I wanted to show off my dwarf pomegranates even though they aren't that impressive yet.


Aren't those orange blooms cool?
