Flowers, lettuces, and clover.

The cool weather continues, although the sun is now peeking through. I'm sure it will become blisteringly hot once we head East.

Remember the cute little baby broccoli from late June?

It's all purty and look at the lettuce! I've been craving salad greens and it will be a bit before I can start any, but I've been scoping seeds on the internets and getting ready.

Wow, that is very nice of you!

Let me figure out what I'm planting and I'll get back to you. There are some specifics I want to plant, but this concept of "perpetual swiss chard" sounds awesome to me.

Of course, I'll reciprocate with more seeds. It's gotten to the point I can't visit a nursery without coming home with a pack of seeds - which definitely beats out buying plants that I don't know where I'll put.
