Oh, what a beau-ti-ful mor-ning....

This was our lovliest gardening morning in months! Cool breeze, bright sun, few bugs, and lots of visitors! WeMoon was being rented for a workshop, and many of the attendees leaned over the wall to talk dirt and give compliments. Amid all that good energy, we managed to get the ENTIRE garden weeded. We added a few new herbs, too, perennials who thrive in our cooler weather: catnip, rosemary, and curly parsley. We have lots of plans for transplating some of our underestimated residents, plants whose growth surpassed the space we'd allotted to them, and that will probably take place slowly over the next month or so. And we'll try to get winter-hardy plants in the ground and established. This weather may be a tease, but we'll take it as long as we can get it.
