Look DOWN
Hiden inside the clump of lovely daffodils…are they duck eggs? They seem to be large for duck eggs. I hope the little ones survived. I did not realize they were there until they were gone 😦

I love the ideas in this Houzz article on Moongates. Enjoy!

Friday Photos: IChing No. 59 Dispersion
26 MayThe most beautiful examples of “dispersion” (I can think of) are the stunning Chihuly glass sculptures displayed through out public gardens. These photos were taken in Dallas in 2012.

Kiwi for gardening
16 MayYesterday, we were pleasantly surprised to find potted “Hardy Kiwi” for $12 at Cox’s Plant Farm. I thought kiwi grew on trees like apples or cherries. It is a vine that prefers a trellis to support perhaps 100 fruit. We’ll let you know how we did.

Friday Photos: I Ching No. 3 Sprouting
21 AprSprouting melon seeds
The potential energy is astonishing! Each one of these melon sprouts can become a vine that produces a dozen melons which each have hundreds of seeds in their center! These sprouts are from one of last year’s melons, which was from seed Dad saved from the previous year. Tomatoes can be even more prolific!
Parts of seeds: embryo, endosperm and coat(protective layer) Notice in the lower left corner that several seed coats cling to the new leaves.
Looking forward to the fruit of these sprouts in mid and late summer!
