Zinnias

Harvested a bouquet of zinnias from the garden last week. I put them out on the porch to photograph them, but the pup thought I was offering him a snack. As far as my dog is concerned, if it's green, it's good.

Does this bode well for my someday-kids? Will they be eager veggie eaters too? (Just so long as they don't roll in dead fish and sniff other kids butts.)

Anyway, the variety you see here is Benary's Giant. Their description is.....high yield of long sturdy stems with fully double, dahlia-like blooms.

Will Bark for Peas

Peas were ready to pick yesterday. These were planted outside the high tunnel after we scalded the first row. during a particularly warm weekend in early April. Remember, we were using an interior plastic row cover and we overheated.

Shared a bit of my harvest with our pup, who adores peas, green beans and carrots. He's also a big, big fan of watermelon. But, 'Is that an apple (sniff, sniff, sniff)? No, thank you."
