Finally, some sun in the garden


The weather has perked up which makes it even more pleasant to spend the weekend at home after a trip away. It was great to return to find my zucchini plants had at last produced appropriately sized vegetables. (I'd been kidding myself that the tiny ones I had harvested thus far would classify as "baby" in the supermarket and were therefore desirable). The picture above shows a courgette worthy of the name.
Even Sakura spends time outside chasing butterflys and climbing the smaller trees once there is weather worthy of the season. She is very taken with the vegetable pots on the patio. (Perhaps jealous of the attention they get). Anyhow, here's a picture of her in front of the prize worthy cabbage.
