caywood-- Walked out the front door this morning and-- surprise!-- the wisteria was blooming! Thanks, Jay, for planting it! It is delightful!
Other new bloomers in the garden include:
-- Sweet peas. At last! I thought you guys were supposed to be partial to a our cool English springtime, not our hot steamy summer? Guess I'm wrong!
-- Foxglove. Ditto the above.
-- Gladiola. First one. Yay!
These signs of life are most welcome after a period of neglect (high weeds), followed by a period of guilt-driven and overzealous weeding (yanking everything). We're still learning!
Notice: You have been pre-approved as the lucky recipient of some yellow squash. If we discover you are traveling within a 50-mile radius of Caywood, we are locking you in to the contract, er, prize package.

It's that time of the year when all home gardeners attempt to foist squash upon their friends and family.
