If only you could smell and taste this blog...

Super hot, sunny days with wilty geraniums... followed by super wet days with 3ish inches of rain... that's what makes a garden grow!

Here's my best bouquet ever:

Delphiniums, now over 5 feet tall...




And roses that smell AMAZING...




Mix to make one happy bouquet:



if you look really close you can see a little bug in the center that I was trying to photograph

In addition to some fantastic lettuce, we have.... ta da--- strawberries! Yay! (and garlic scapes... yay)
