Weekly Bloom Report - 5/26/09-6/3/09

Pisum sativum var. macrocarponPisum sativum var. macrocarpon - sugar snap pea - which yields this:

Yummy! sugar snap peas - great in salads!
I have been eating a ~70% raw diet for the last three weeks - this morning I weighed in at 8 pounds less than I was averaging 3 weeks ago!! I also read "The End of Overeating" by David Kessler - I think it made a big difference. Oh, and that summer is here and I have been planting in three gardens, biking, swimming, and taking 2 mile walks every night. The dog is worn out.



Curcubita pepo - spaghetti squash
please ignore the ugly paint on the front porch behind my squash! :) This was all covered in yew bushes until this spring - now I am growing a victory garden. Triple S will paint once I am knocked up and his sperm services are no longer required :)


Blehpilia ciliata - Ohio horsemint
the only ornamental in bloom right now. I have a bit of a late May early June gap that I need to find a plant or two to fill...

Ok. Off to the RE for the sonohys.

Thanks for sharing these. It's fun to see your garden starting to bloom.

And I may have to look up that David Kessler book.

Your bloom updates are lovely. I really love the idea of gardening, but I've just never been able to actually, er, dig in and make it happen. Our rented apartment, nomadic lifestyle doesn't help matters. But I should check out the whole community garden thing.

Hope your appointment went well.
