    With all this cold wind we had to apply the clippies to keep the climbers in place:

    Finally, a small harvest at the end of a wettish workday. The yields are still small, but there was enough mange tout to freeze-in and we ate more shortcake and little breakfast portions.

    We are eying the Swiss chard for their first harvest. Perhaps in a few days.

    Welp, in anticipation of coming harvests we defrosted the freezer. Let the harvesting begin.

    love the pictures!

    I have a Weigelia in town and I've always wanted to get a cutting to see if I could get it to root so I can have such a beautiful bush like that. But I won't.

    All those are so pretty though. I love the variety!

    Annie— Ta, I can hardly wait.

    Shaw— thanks, I am glad you liked those. That old bush really is a good one that consistently gives a good showing very spring and again later. I will prune it back very hard after the blooming.

    Pac— cheers. I like your ideas for din-din.
