Second Wind

by

The jerusalem artichokes are experiencing a second growth spurt of the summer with the flowers reaching 10 ft or higher! They might be responding to the rainy weather this summer or maybe the unusual height is a result of selectively planting only the biggest tubers when we relocated the bed this spring.

A Beautiful Visitor

by

Nicole (left) and Mike (right) captured these stunning photos of an American Copper Butterfly who visited the garden today on the winter savory and the stevia plants in the herb border. This beauty is quite small, only about an inch wide.
