beans!

This season I'm trying an experiment.  I'm growing bush beans in a couple pots on my deck--green, yellow, and purple.  The experiment seems to be working!

my first harvest!  shown with a nasturtium blossom (edible).  These beans were oh so tender and delicious!

It's Spring!

It's Spring!  It's Spring!  It's Spring!!!
Birds are chirping, owls are hooting, the sun is shining (actually it's not!), trees are budding, blooms are busting forth!

My daughter and I shared bags of mixed tulips and daffodils last Fall.  so fun to see all the variety!
