My garden is progressing nicely, now that summer landed yesterday night with a big WARM BREEZE - we were sitting out on deck in evening and all of a sudden the wind changed direction from the north to the south and a mild breeze made for a most enjoyable nite without a sweater or jacket. Reading kindle last nite till almost 12pm on deck - ahhhhh - love the warm atmosphere. You are most fortunate to have young Leo - I love the photo - I know when my Kyle comes we have such fun - and he is computer smart - we talk over ideas together and then just play kid stuff :) DJan, I too, will soon be enjoying delightful food from my garden, but growing season in the Maritimes doesn't come as quickly as your area. Lovely photos of your garden and front porch. Have a wonderful Summer Sunday and best to your buddy there too. lolLilliStJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771499579700164919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-59085066489954841952014-06-22T03:52:08.637-07:002014-06-22T03:52:08.637-07:00I never knew you could eat broccoli leaves!
