Garden Update

• Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies
• ...with her hands she planteth a vineyard...

Last night I woke up to one of the most beautiful sounds in the world--rain! I can manage to water my little garden with no trouble, but the farmers have been really suffering. Ponds are dried up, grass is dead in the pastures--so far we've gotten just over two inches of lovely, slow, soaking-in-the-ground rain, for which I'm very thankful!

Meanwhile, can you tell how much everything has grown since last week? We had a light frost last weekend while I was gone to visit my hubby, but it didn't seem to hurt anything...

...as a matter of fact, look what I found peeking between the leaves? Squash blossoms! (the yellow right in the middle) The leaves have all but swallowed up the whirly-gig I have stuck in the end of the bed.

The Swiss chard is coming right along...



...as are the carrots. I guess I'll try to thin them this week--I love the looks of the pretty, lacy greenery, though!

The bibb lettuce is beautiful...

...the onions not so much(!)...

...and I finally had enough of a show on my basil to bother taking a picture!
