Fruits of the Garden

It's been a bit since our last garden update (and I know you are all just chomping at the bit in anticipation!) Since our last update, our Coleus has grown tall and strong and quite beautiful. We even purchased a fancy new planter for it.



We've also produced some green beans!



Currently, our herbs are growing like weeds and one of my favorite things to do is just walk outside and plant my face right in them to gather all of the aromas. I think that fresh herbs from the garden has to rank on my top ten list of worldly pleasures.



I think one of our favorite flowers currently is our moss rose. They are very finicky and only come out during the afternoon, typically when no one is home. The best part is the surprise of color that bursts.





One morning, while making pancakes, Rob noticed that we had a butterfly in our flowers. I quickly halted pancake production to grab the camera and snap a few shots. It was magnificent and goes to show that even city folk experience nature up close.
