Garden discoveries

A funny thing has happened in the garden. You see, this bright orb has made an appearance here in the Pacific Northwest and with that my garden exploded! It's as if the plants are afraid the sun is going to disappear so they are sucking up all the warmth they can while it lasts.

Our first artichoke has shown up.

I am in love with my snap peas. And they are quite tasty!


See....it's all big and pretty! Even the marigolds are thriving!

Artichokes!!! I have been craving them lately. I have had them with dinner twice in the last few weeks, but dang they are spendy at the grocery store.

Yay! Makes me miss gardening, so so much. :-(

(P.S. -- Thanks for the phone call the other day...was getting ready for my OB appointment so I couldn't pick up, but I miss you too!!!)

I've never grown artichokes, but I think it's on the list for next year!
