GARDENING

It's been a cool dry spring, and this has allowed me to do more gardening than ever before. Even after many years of identifying plants that I want to grow, and plants that I don't, I found myself puzzled by this one. Is it a weed or do I watch it grow?

In any case, it's easier to get into the yard with company, and although her interests veer from the lessons I had seen as a child, Princess Pirate and her trusty companion Calico had a lot of fun. This weeks project, making clay into mud!

We planted sprouting potatoes and onions, and can't wait for the mint to propogate. Already we have chives in every salad, and lemon thyme in our water!
