tiny veggie starts

FIRST VERY MESSY pix of the tiny starter garden ... screw you Monsanto.
These will be my first delicious vegetables that I'm growing. I put a little iron gate beyond the main perennial garden, to suggest where the veggies are. I'm such a greenie. More and better photos coming.

I'M ANTICIPATING the fall harvest from my first veggie garden. This is a test garden I'm doing in micro, so when I start a garden at my dad's next spring I can replicate the plan on a third acre . The property is what some might call a tear-down. My sister and I disagree. We are going to recycle and paint and use our creativity to make a charming little farmette.

THIS ONE IS going to take me a couple days.
I'm going over to Wenatchee again, in Central WA, for a weekend with Terrie, to start working on my dad's place, now that he's gone. My sis and I enjoy the time together, and it also gives us a chance to grieve together and talk. We discussed starting a garden there, both because it's a fine and green idea, and because we could do it as a tribute to him as well. It could be gorgeous. And efficient. Maybe even bees.
Ok, so beginning stage photos and more on this forthcoming.
Thanks as always for your patience. I am so obviously an anarchist, with no respect for rules, such as attending to my blog in a timely manner.

PIX OF SUMMER progress in the bothell garden — the sweat and toil are starting to pay off.

back from wenatchee

I HAD A reunion marathon this weekend. Met old friends from a former job, and then went to my dad's place is, to start dressing it up. While there, I attended a reunion, from my old days in a big church. I was apprehensive, since my beliefs probably are best defined as Jesus + Jon Stewart. :B
But it was lovely, and all I have room to say here is it's stunning how life changes people, and how love saves them.

IT'S BEEN THREE weeks since a post, which isn't proper etiquette for blogging, I'm sure.
The FB/twitter/myspace/youtube phenomenon has revealed that I'm a semi-Luddite, if only that I want to stay current w the threads, but I seem to be about a day behind everyone else.
So this tells me I probably need to decide which of those tools I use best and stick widdit.
In any case, I hope to have more exciting pix and stuff after this weekend, when I am going to 2 reunions, visiting Wenatchee, my old hometown, and a couple other happs. I'm getting all my stimuli in August, since July was hot, lazy and reclusive for me.
Here are garden photos for eye candy, and I'm posting when I return this weekend...
