So I promised more photos of my garden, and here they are. Recently, as you would know if you live in Portland, it's been frickin' hot!! This is bad if you live in an un-air conditioned apartment like I do, but excellent for the plants, as long as you remember to water them. I remembered. As a result, they've all undergone quite a growth spurt, and little tiny vegetables are visible on most of the plants, so now I actually know what I planted.
As you can see, my chives have gone to flower. But that's not a bad thing, as the flowers are quite pretty, and the plant will regenerate itself.
Here on the left is a portrait of my first zucchini. It was small but perfectly shaped. I haven't cooked it yet.
Finally, pictured below are the previously mentioned broccoli and peas, still in the wild:I discovered a problem today with the broccoli, though. One plant appears to be infested with those disgusting gray bugs that look like scales. I really hope they don't infect my other plants. That would be disaster. The peas are all beautiful though. Ah, lavender. My plants are still small, but even a little lavender is lovely. (How corny do I sound?)
