It’s hot today BUT we’ve seen a hummingbird and a monarch butterfly in the Grotto.

Come and get it. Inspired by Rhyd Wildermuth:
Gardening is only a political act now because of all the political acts and regimes that have made it impossible for many.

Entrance to Green Man’s Grotto is finally complete. We’ll see if the wood-burned sign weathers well. I covered it in a few coats of polyurethane.
We built a new raised bed this week. That’s not a trick of perspective: it actually is much narrower at the far end. On this end is a mound (hard to see) for a three sisters planting. Past that is amaranth, then two columbine plants at the far end.
Newly built window box is up. Lean out the window and there’s a salad waiting for you.
