Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary

How does your garden grow?


With silver bells,



And cockle shells,


And pretty maids all in a row



The "pretty maids" are Okra we planted from seed. It is so exciting to see them pushing up through the dirt.


We lost one of the Julia Child tomatoes, but the other tomatoes have started to perk up, which is encouraging.


It is starting to get warmer, and we'll have to see how the plants hold up in the SoCal heat, coupled with my unintentional neglect. But today, they are lovely. Yes, today was a good day.

Bummer about the Julia Child tomato. Everything else is looking happy though! How exciting to see those okra sprouts- they were just seeds you put in the ground a few weeks ago...and now they're plants...gardening amazes me.
