My friend Kris and I have been tending the St. Mark's garden for I guess about 5 years now. It's a little sliver of a garden right in the Civic center area. It is looking particularly pretty right now, as are the new plantings in front of the church. For your viewing pleasure...

I've been having fun with planting bright colors in my tiny front yard garden......a vine with bright orange blooms, salvia, torch lilies, bougainvillea, and wildflowers grown from seed in pots....I know that I usually post photos of veggie gardens, but today I can't resist how sweet this looks in the sunshine of a May afternoon.....  I have been struck this week by the brilliant spring colors all around us in SF. Here are just a few examples. Nature is so very beautiful..... It's hard to believe it's May already - spring is truly present in the SF gardens I tend! Just one photo today - of our berry plants beginning to bloom at the St. Mark's garden. Looks like we might have a bumper crop coming...  I know I wrote about flowers in my last post, and I can't resist doing it again - there is so much blooming in San Francisco and it all feels so welcomed given the past year we've shared. I came across a quote that sums it all up - it's by Andrew Greeley from his journal and it simply states "Someone keeps sending me flowers." Happy Saturday, all.  Some beautiful Easter colors that speak for themselves on this blessed Sunday....Happy Easter everyone... My friend Stephanie shared with me photos of the amazing gardens that she and her mom have at their homes.....I think these are totally dreamy....such lovely signs of spring.... Lots of greens and potatoes and herbs are coming up at the Little Red Hen garden. I wanted to share a photo of a recent harvest and of the new potatoes - plus a photo of the brilliant and joyful California poppies that are volunteering in one of our containers. Don't they just shout "Spring!!!"? Happy first day.... I have just a few fun photos to share today - of bright colors in San Francisco at the end of February.....Onward to March tomorrow.... I feel more than a little guilty, posting this photo of beautiful blooming San Francisco in the middle of winter.....given the harsh winter that so many people across the country are facing. Perhaps it will bring a little warmth and light to folks who are facing such cold temps - and hopes for the spring that is to come.  |
