Herbs Looking Great


Here We Grow!




My herbs have been planted, are growing, and some are ready to harvest. In the "salad section" of my garden, my lettuce is beautiful, tender, green, AND delicious. There are three tomato blossoms on my Heirloom "Tom-A-To" tomato plant.

I planted one Ichiban eggplant and it is growing fast. I am not a fan of eggplant except for Ichiban. It is very tender and sweet.

Several seeds were sown and will be up soon. On the South end of my garden, I have planted moonflowers. This Summer, they will be beautiful and will fill the night with the wonderful scent of fantastic, white blooms.

The Fairies are smiling, and so am I.

Buddha Fountain



Buddha Moved to Herbal Garden



Our Buddha Fountain has now been moved from the Rose Garden to the Herbal Garden. Buddha seems to be smiling; therefore, he must be happy with his new home. The camellias have been beautiful, but are almost gone. Our Foothills weather has been extremely warm for this time and this place, (16 degrees above normal). It is very tempting to plant too much, too soon. I am fully aware we have had killing frosts as late as May 10.

I have the Place, now there surely will be a Time and a Season for Planting!
