Garden Exploding With Life!






My garden is really exploding! The raspberries have started coming out in full force. The potatoes are blooming, as are the squash. My tomato plants are getting tall and they should be blooming any moment now. And the mint! Oh for the love of God, I have so much mint - chocolate mint, spearmint, peppermint, candy mint, lemon mint!!!! I especially love mint because it comes back every year. My sunflowers are growing so tall. I can't wait for them to bloom. When they do I think I will park my Adirondack chair in front of them and spend the day just looking at them. Those sunflowers make me so happy!

And of course, the guardian of it all, my sweet baby, Jasmine the cat. She loves to come out on the deck with me. When I go out to the garden she sits up on the deck and watches me putter around. I think it amuses her.
