The house at dawn
I planted the peppers and tomatoes in patio pots to keep an eye on them. Since I was gone on vacation during planting season, things had a late start but I have harvested plenty of yellow squash, Swiss card, zucchini and cucumbers. I made tasty refrigerator pickles with the latter
Some seeds I save year to year like zinnias orange cosmos and nasturtium

A new plant for me: the popcorn plant. Its leaves smell like popcorn
This is a closeup of one of my orchids. I think it looks like an eagle
As you can tell, I have a lot of gardens and much time is spent keeping it relatively weed free and trimmed. I lost a lot of plants over the winter. Also I learned that I should never grow fennel and dill near each other as they cross pollinate yielding something that smells like neither. pulled out a trash bag of these mutants
I also spend lots of time biking and running getting slower and slower. I will talk about more fun things in another post
