It may not be summer officially yet, but when these pink and red clarkias called "Farewell to Spring" suddenly pop up all over the front yard, sticking out above the yellow tidy tips (the baby blue eyes are but a memory now) and the thermometer hovers near or above 90, who am I to get all technical?
Seeing the clarkias rise up, full of buds, I couldn't for the life of me remember what they were supposed to be. Fortunately right there on Larner Seeds website there it was: the beginner's wildflower sale, featuring baby blue eyes (yep), tidy tips (yep), farewell to spring (aha!), and globe gilia (ah.....hmmm......not yet....).
Out back, everything is growing whether from seeds or starts. Between the tomatoes and peppers we planted from both seeds AND starts (as insurance) if things continue to grow well there should be lots of salads, spaghetti sauce and salsa this harvest. Right now we are watching the peas get ready for picking.
