The celery experiment.  I left last years plants in the ground over winter, along with some swiss chard.  Most of the plant rotted away and the roots started greening up in March so I left it, and here it is today.  Been eating the chard lately too :D

I think the celery is bolting…

Salad bed update: all the freak heat we got has made the bok choy and arugula bolt.  Cilantro is probably not far behind.  Lettuce, Orach, parsley & mustard greens are given’r.

Here’s an amazing shade perennial, I fell in love with it’s delicate leaves, then was equally stoked to learn it’s an insect repellant.
Sweet Woodruff Galium odoratum

Two of my Phals are showing off at the moment, both of these ones were mad after the last move and didn’t flower for 2 1/2 years….I’m nervous.
