the scent of the cranesbill geranium makes me want to faint, or kiss a hundred times in a row. they are just beginning to bloom. like all geraniums, their leaves are also scented. i put my face in them, every time i walk out the back door. sometimes, a short dance follows.

first rose

rainbow chard

carrots (oxheart, dragon, st valery, scarlet nantes); rainbow chard; beets (chioggia, detroit dark red)

the robin has a new home in his garden (upper left). this photo was taken from my desk, through the window. yesterday, a guy stopped his car and said "your garden looks very european!" couldn't help but feel a bit proud of my new trellises. even learned to sharpen my backsaw. books can teach you anything.

oh! and check the new Peter Parasol for a lovemoss collage. miranda gaw challenged poets to write based on the collage. fun!
