There are lots of sunflowers in the front yard.  They were planted by the squirrel that gets in our birdfeeder.  We’re just sort of going along with it.

Lots of cherry tomatoes on the way.  This is the plant that started growing around our little avocado tree back in December or January.  We’re just sort of going along with it (can you see a trend?).

This is one of our normal-sized tomato plants.  I don’t know anything about growing vegetables, but if we get a tomato for each flower, we will have lots of tomatoes.

Four different kinds of basil.

Lettuce.  The lettuce has been mostly eaten.  By us.

Snap peas.

IMG_1921

Freakish purple snap peas.  I will assume that these are some sort of rare heirloom snap peas and not a Queens mutation.  I’ll have to ask Janie.

Teeny little broccoli.

Beans!

Zucchini.  It’s hard to get too excited about the zucchini.  Especially when the huge zucchini plant is choking out everything around it.

Bikes!

we finally got a ladder to get to the roof and found out that we cannot open the hatch to the roof b/c it is tarred over and we cannot access the skylight to clean it from the outside. So after spending the whole winter wanting to get the skylight clean, we realized the way to clean it was from the inside! remember the old pic?
Such nice light all day, even on the rainy days. Just in time for summer heat….
