We had THE most glorious rain yesterday. Real soaking rain that went on for several hours. The garden can hardly believe its good fortune. Everything is basking in moisture and sighing in happiness.
Me too.
I forgot to show you something. I was reminded of it this morning as I walked around out there admiring the wet soil and smiling plants.
I have lived in this area for quite a few years now, but I still have an irrationally entrenched mountain gardener’s mentality.
I try to get a grip on the climate here, I really do.
But I just can’t seem to embrace the fact that my list of possible vegetables and fruits to put in my garden is much longer now.
Even when I plant something that the local nurseries carry all the time , I still think it’s a fairytale that it will actually produce food.
But evidently, some fairytales come true.
From time to time...

I’m not eating that.
It looks poison.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you.
