My veggie garden's first fruit is a radish! The squash, zucchini and cucumber are being all flashy, but they are clearly not about this life-leaves and sprouts for days but no cigar. Still the plants make me happy. My carrots are finally sprouting in spite of the hot weather, but my spinach remind me daily that I am clearly not about this life--they don't sprout in hot soil. The collards, cabbage, kale, lettuce and Swiss chard all look awesome. My broccoli has finally come up after after almost two months! Several seeds don't seem to want to sprout, but hope springs until fall planting season.

I inherited this rosemary from my friend who is moving away. Narry a chicken shall go unrubbed, nor a mosquito go repelled without a thought of her.

What's springing up in your garden?
