We have never before had so much green happening in our yard at this time of year! Ā I think part of the reason is our exceptionally warm winter and spring and part of it is all the seed starting we did this spring under our grow lights. Ā It is very exciting to me to see so much promise in our front and back yards during the second week of May! Ā Amazing! Ā Hereās a peek at some of whatās happening on our little plotā¦

I think you’ll enjoy having eggplants. I think the plants are beautiful.
I love the purple pear. What variety is it?
And lemon balm… mmm. Yummy tea.

I’m really excited about the eggplants! I hope they do wonderfully š
The pears on that branch are Red Bartlett. I really hope we actually get a real fruit harvest from our trees this year!
