It’s not just the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden that’s looking like a giant salad this summer. Head to the back of the Home Gardening Center to see more leafy greens than a single hare could hope to eat in a lifetime.

We’re just missing chocolate, though I suppose green and purple can be stand-ins for the time being.

Morning Eye Candy: Friday’s Finery
Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on July 20 2012, by Matt Newman
Pleasant things for a pleasant Friday. Even though we’re probably looking at a bank of rainclouds throughout the day, we kind of needed the downpour–and it’s still a Friday. Yesterday’s overcast skies, while threatening, left us with hours of easy breezes and popping color from the flowers, so maybe we’ll fare as well this afternoon.
Got any plans for the weekend?

It tends to remind us of Hawaii, but this hibiscus cultivar hails from the Fleming Brothers of Nebraska, of all places.

Why cover your work with a label when the food sells itself? Look for Millport Farms’ pickled everything when you stop by the Greenmarket this coming Wednesday (it’s every Wednesday, 9 to 3 p.m., every week through late November). For my two cents, the habanero pickles are life-changing–if you don’t mind your lips tingling.

In the immortal words of Jurassic Park’s Dr. Ian Malcolm, “Life finds a way.” …Not that anything has much of a struggle setting down roots in our 250 acres of greenery!
