Garden progress

Our little raised bed garden experiment is moving along nicely. The tomato plants have grown up enough to warrant some bamboo trellis support:

The cell phone picture doesn’t show a lot of detail, but the tomatoes are down the middle, and that is basil up front right and the tall stuff flowering in the back is garlic, with some onions inbetween.

Birds and bees (just a wasp, actually)

I was getting some pics of the various things blooming in the yard. I like best the flowers that bed down over the winter and come back the next year. We have a Japanese quince in the yard that puts up nice pink flowers.

I was trying to find a good camera angle to get some good shots of the blooms and saw this wasp buzzing around. He didn’t bother me and I didn’t bother him outside of a little paparazzi attention. The wasp didn’t seem to mind:
