Green Magic

I just don't feel right without some growing things around--especially edible things. My days of a big garden with produce to can and freeze are gone, alas.

But I get a lot of pleasure from sprouting garlic cloves and snipping the green blades to add to eggs. And when a volunteer basil seedling  popped up, I was thrilled and started a second garlic pot to give the basil wiggle room.

In the greenhouse, one worn out dill still waved a few feathery fronds.

Next to it, in the pot with the stump of a defunct dill, tiny little self-sown dill seedlings were emerging.

The best kind of magic!
