May you have a blessed summer solstice!
I still have some bok choy in my garden, I have been succession sowing and growing it under 50% shade cloth and only today has it started to bolt. This pic is from a week or so ago.

Spent some time in the garden yesterday with my big camera. Take pictures of your garden, I never used to and wish I had pictures of the evolution of my gardens over the years. Now I make it a point to go out and take pictures at least every few weeks. You can look back and see just how much both you and your garden have grown. Some say to take a picture every day, I say whatever works for you. You’ll be happy you did. I take close up shots as well as pulled back shots, but the close ups are probably my favorite.
A small glimpse of one of the front yard garden areas. These snap dragons are 5th generation seeds from my sons elementary school. (When my youngest was moving on to middle school they gifted me a basket of flowers. I have been growing snap dragons and collecting their seeds every year since.) Every time I look at them I remember my time volunteering at the school. 🦁
Today on the blog: My Must Grow Plants.
