There are still photos, of course


Lavandula stoechas, aka Spanish lavender. It has really nifty little flowers on a spiked inflorescence.


Because, you know, I do have plenty of flowers to have fresh cut flowers at home....


...and getting fresh cut flowers from your own garden (in my case, that I grew from SEEDS) is possibly one of the most fulfilling tasks ever.


The start of the pea shelling process (I have a mound of pea pods, now I shall convert them to peas). I was worried that since these peas ARE past their growing season that their yield / quality might be compromised, but they turned out really good! Don't these look good? I think they look good.


Columbines, which I've grown for two years, from seeds, and I'm convinced they will NEVER flower.
