Everything is blooming!

Looking around my place, I can't help but notice that all my plants are enjoying the summer sunshine and are rewarding me with the fruits of their labour.


First, the wild strawberry plant that I picked up at the local Farmers Market two weekends ago has given me its second little delectable red candy.  If only I was a field mouse, then the strawberry would have lasted longer... :)

Next up, my "Tomato 100" plant that has been sprouting for a month finally saw its first little tomato turn the colour I've been waiting for!  I've got 7 cherry tomatoes on the way with a few more growing under the tiny yellow flowers.  Originally, this seedling started off 5" high but has since grown to over 7' tall!


And lastly, my beloved gardenias.  I've had this potted bunch for three years now.  It has been particularly good to me this past year as it flowered in winter and continued on through spring and now summer!  I love when both the standard and bush bloom at the same time... and my living room is filled with the heady fragrance of this beautiful, fleeting flower.

My plants have not been the only things that have been productive in this house.  I've been busy sewing and crafting. I'll post those shortly.
