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!

The layout of our townie isn’t great for growing things, but we do have some, of course.
New life of all kinds are a special event. Love little sprouts!
We have so many houseplants we hardly have room for all of them. But the house would feel like a desert without them. Two of my orchids have finished their bloom period, my beloved yellow orchid is down to one last flower -- and two that I had thought were finished have put out new sprouts covered with tiny buds. I especially love these bonus flowers when they appear. Weeks of beauty to look forward to!
