Clouds to the west before the rain arrived!The elderberry has started blooming and seems to be attracting many small pollinators, including this little beetle.
Since it was going to rain this afternoon (and did! I think we got around a quarter inch at most), I gave the culinary sage and lemon balm both haircuts to encourage bushier growth.
The rainbow garden is almost there. The winecups have gotten MASSIVE. I have never seen such mammoth winecup leaves in the wild.
A typical winecup with regular sized leaves. We saw this one today on our afternoon walk, at Saxon Park.
A view panning over to see the Salvia greggii and coreopsis too. All the white flowers in the raised beds are cilantro. If you’ve been looking at our iNaturalist feed, the cilantro flowers are hopping with insect activity.
Same dinner as yesterday (leftovers still yummy!!) but this time Paula added butterfly pea flowers to the lemonade! The acid of the citrus turns it from blue (the flower original dye) to purple!! Doesn’t change the taste but very fun.
Paula peeled the giant garlic from a few days ago!The giant garlic had beautiful cloves and little garlics!Spicy peanut sauce on noodles. Containing the giant garlic as well as garden cilantro and walking onions.
