Our County Fair 2014

I decided to branch out this year and entered the African violet that I had babied along and a couple of dish settings, one for a tray and one for a table.

Most of these things belong to me and are vintage or antique. :) Some of the flowers are from purple beans and peas.

Have men on horses ever helped you park? It’s a fun sight.

Garden 2014: #1

Just a quick look into the garden…

"Bright lights" Swiss Chard houseplants, cats, 4th of July, Garden 132

This is my first time growing this. It tastes like beets.

I used some on a pizza the other night. :)

I just noticed today that the borage has started to flower.

The flowers are supposed to have a mild cucumber flavor. I haven't tried one yet, but am looking forward to it!

This is all for now, but there is plenty more to post later. :)
