Lady's mantle looks so beautiful with raindrops on it. In Latvia these plants grow wild. Ever since I've been gardening in the U.S., I have at least one my garden. I love its roundish leaves and chartreuse blooms. Its name in Latvian literally would translate "dew vessel".
Broccoli looks good enough for eating.
A corner with variegated oregano, garlic, bean sprout, potatoes and sunflower sprouts. Potatoes are fingerling potatoes from Safeway produce stand. They were not coming up for a very long time, so I seeded sunflowers over them. Now it looks that this corner might become too busy. We shall see.
There also are some weeds in the picture. I pulled a lot of them today. Very easy to do after the rain when ground is so soft.
All zucchini seeds sprouted and I had to thin the plants out.
Since the "rejects" came out from the soil with all roots attached, I have transferred them in pots. Any takers? I left four zucchini plants for us, and I know it will be plenty.
In another corner of the garden, rose campion blooms next to spearmint.
I also thinned beets. I'll use beet greens in my salad tomorrow. Other items cut tonight was one broccoli crown and a few clematis blooms to put in a bud vase in the living room.
Main ingredients for tonight's salad came from the garden: radishes, lettuce, dill and some green onions. Add some salt and sour cream and a light supper is ready!

Yum! That salad looks so delicious and makes me regret that I've got to hit Potbellies today.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll take a zucchini plant!
That broccoli looks good. I tried to grow it in Latvia one year, but somehow it didn't work out. I can only imagine how great that salad tastes! Especially when ingredients come from your own garden! Thanks for sharing...
