Things I love today

Gardening and contemplating the joys of the harvest. My little pepper flowers appear to be giving way to little green fruits.

My new gardening catalogs. After ordering over 800 daffodils last fall it seems the Maximalist is a desirable customer. I received a catalog devoted entirely to bulk bulbs and another with natural solutions to everything.

Accidental successes! When I went to a local garden store I noticed a plant labeled "red currant". It wasn't. It was a gooseberry plant and quite a nice one. Of course it is in my yard now.

Marigolds

The wild array of peppers and tomatoes you can plant. The vast variety of the pricey specialty market is available for your garden and table at $1.49 a pack!

Lentil sprouts. Just a bit of the lentilly taste and lots of extra nutrients. I let mine get a bit green and leafy in the sun before the saute. They were excellent with some pepper and ginger.

Feeling a wee bit tired after a lot of digging and planting. It's a good sort of tired and I recommend it to everyone.

Cultivate your own garden!
