Our garden is actually beginning to look like a garden. Everything is growing, slowly but surely. Each morning, when we go to see how things look, we are pleased with the progress. I thought I'd share some of the excitement...
This is organic redina lettuce given to us by my family when we moved here...
These two photos are of the flowers of my bush beans...beans are in our future!!!...
This is what I believe is the beginning of a zucchini (look in the center of the pic, flower on the tip, fruit beginning just behind it),
I have to admit that some time ago I posted a picture and said it was a zucchini flower, but it was in fact, a new leaf...all good, but I am still learning what is what, LOL!...
And my most interestingly surprising delight is the broad (fava) bean flower...black and white, I just love it!...
...a little closer just because...makes me want to batik some fabric just like the colors in this flower...I have not idea how to do that but I believe I may have to learn!...
On the walk to and from the garden, we encounter much clover. Today, the way the sun struck the bloom caught my eye...
The afternoon was interrupted by a thunderstorm, always a welcome cooling event during these warm summer days. But even better, the view after the rain, with the clouds forming from the steam rising from the trees, is magical...
Thank you for reading my blog, you are the best f/f/r/s/f's, see you tomorrow,
Lise

I didn't know vegetable could bloom so pretty. I've never tasted fava beans either.
We dug the last row of our potatoes this evening. some were already baked!
We got rain last night about 1/2 inch.
Have a great week.
I haven't tasted fava beans either, but I hear you can make a nice hummus out of it.
I sure wish I could share our rain with you, we have had bunches...sorry to hear about your potatoes baking, were they still edible or too dried out?
