Squee

There are a few things on earth that incite an excited squeal/scream in me; it's a squeal that startles my husband and family and incites mockery by my fellow humans.

Unexpected mini caprese appetizers at a dinner party.

My first and unexpected view of Brewery Vivant, my admiration of which is its own lengthy pedantic entry.

Cilantro in my garden.

I'm watering this now. It's been dry.

Notice Anything Funny?

This is the south side of garden 3, the large vegetable garden. Yes! It needs to be weed-whacked badly. See anything else funny here?

I trimmed the grass and weeds a little. Do you see anything now?

Several green bean seeds escaped and headed south to Mexico. They made it one inch of the way before the burden of maturity took hold.

I also have a Stargazer Lily bloom holding on for dear life (and another getting ready to open soon). Yes, we finally got some much-needed rain today.

And my assistant and I finally planted some cilantro in both garden 2 and garden 3. I have not successfully achieved cilantro plants in the past; I hope these seeds become huge, healthy plants.

Is This Basil?

What about this?

They certainly should be basil. I think we planted about 600 basil seeds.

I'm going to need some basil soon, to accompany the tomatoes-in-progress.

Now, to wait, and maybe identify a spot to plant cilantro seeds.
