How do you like the pantyhose plant I'm growing in my garden? Just kidding! I've put knee-high stockings over the seed pods on this collard plant so I can save the seed without it falling to the ground or, more likely, getting eaten by our greedy goldfinches.
Collard blooms sure are pretty. I'll be saving the seeds from this plant - it was remarkably robust and lived for three years instead of the usual two.
Signs of spring! It's time to get the garden going again: hoe up the weeds, gather the seeds from the collards and kale that bolted, and spread some compost. Soon, I'll be transplanting these little seedlings out into the garden.

Overdid things today. All my own fault.

Thinned the squash seedlings that I'm growing in cups to transplant into the garden later on. The thinnings will go in stir-fry. Did you know that squash leaves are edible? There's so much food out there that we don't eat simply due to custom and habit.
It's silly, I guess, but I still get excited every time one of our pineapple plants starts to make a fruit. Nature is amazing and beautiful!
