Chives in Bloom!
May 21st, 2010
This is a photo sent to me this week from a friend. Chives that are left unharvested end up with these beautiful flowers. Artichokes also produce a lovely purple flower. That is, if you can resist harvesting them and enjoying them by dunking the steamed leaves in melted butter!
Espalier Apple Trees in Blossom
May 14th, 2010
My hand-crafted espalier apple trees are in blossom, framed by a wonderful carpet of frais de bois or yellow woodland strawberries. This is my favorite time of year, besides harvesting the bounty later this Fall and sharing with family and friends.
