Castle Rock

If it weren't for the marine layer, the ocean would be visible behind me!

Blue boy Bachelor Button Cornflowers

I planted these all over the hillside behind my cousin's house (the photographer). It took them nearly three months to show up! I had given up on them, but recently I went over for dinner, and saw a view much like this photo. These are one of my favorite flowers. If I ever marry, they're likely to be in my bouquet. :)

Garden Project Continued


 This cantaloupe hardly seemed like it would make it back in May. It was started indoors, and put directly into the ground one sunny afternoon without any acclimation time to ease the shift. It withered initially, but after a week or two it decided to make it. So it did.
 The watermelons were seeded directly into the soil. They're doing quite well! This one is a bit larger than a baseball. For such a late start, everything is producing enormously!
 This is Kittties. She kills bunnies and birdies for kicks.
Finally, here are the first of the green tomatoes. I am SO excited about these! I can't tell you how much I long to sink my teeth into a fleshy mater!
