Thursday, another day to share fresh produce out of the garden with the neighborhood. Today we have new potatoes, spring onions, lettuces, garlic, snap peas, and more. If you live nearby, come to Bow Little Market. The market runs from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The pink poppies scent the air with a powder fresh fragrance. Under a blue sky, they wave their pink petals in the cool breeze. You can hear them singing, “Love me, love me, love me,” as they wave their petals.

Growing cabbage is so lush and beautiful. So is kohlrabi with its purple veins. So is corn salad. A rainy brings out the best in growing greens.

The steady rain turns the poppy flowers into humorous clowns. Poppies are the jokers of the flowers. If you want to laugh, have poppies in your garden.

Some of the garlic are almost ready. I pulled a few today to see how they are progressing. I’ll have some for Thursday’s Bow Little Market. In addition to garlic, I’ll have lettuce, arugula, gobo, magenta spreen, radishes, spring onions, oregano, thyme, sage, eggs, and possibly some new potatoes and raspberries.

The evening sun makes the purple iris iridescent. Purple iris are the color of June.

In the evening sun the dogwood glow. Happiness is living in a summer garden.
