Check out the shadow....

Allium. I brought this plant from Vermont. I even split it this spring and both plants are doing well. Though this one, the main one, is flourishing. It is about five feet tall.

The butterflies are back. I pulled this one out of my pond. It had been hanging upside down...inflating those wings and then fell...

I wish I had taken a picture of this yesterday...I swear it grew more then an inch overnight. Watch the fence behind it....I will take a picture everyday to track its progress. I might need to build a support for it so that it doesn't take down the fence with its weight.

Garbanzo beans...we ate them raw in India not knowing that when dried they would be Chickpeas! I sprouted these right out of the bag. They have been very easy to grow. I planted about twenty bushes....maybe enough for one batch of hummus :)

Sunflowers in the heat of July...some of them can't even look at the sun today.
