lanterns, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Picture: Underside view of a tomatillo bud hanging from a plant. I picked and ate my first tomatillo yesterday. Having never grown my own before, I wasn’t quite sure if it was ripe yet (how do you tell if a green fruit is ripe?). It tasted both sweet and salty. [...]
peony pretties, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. “Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best,” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what [...]
orange blossom, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. This blossom is from the dwarf satsuma tree that my Mom gave me for my birthday 2 years ago. The little tree is thriving in its new home in my garden (it didn’t seem to like my porch so well). I wish I could bottle the scent to share [...]
lobelia, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Picture: closeup photo of a blue lobelia blossom. I just planted these little blue flowers in a border in a flower box on my back porch.

flare, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Picture: closeup photo of a red double begonia. Each day when I post a photo, I’m showing you my favorite photo. Do you think it’s okay that my favorite changes nearly every day??
pure light, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Picture: closeup photo of a white double begonia flower. Had some fun taking photos of the flowers on my front & back porch today. We’ve been having dreadfully hot weather (santa ana winds) with temps in the 90s. My plants are in shock as we were in the 60s [...]
Feeling proud of my own “edible estate”…
just perfect, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. Picture: closeup photo of a deep red rosebud.
honeytime, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl. It’s time for me to get busy again (as if I’m not busy enough!). Meaning, that I’ve taken a few weeks off from schoolwork–a well-deserved break, IMO–and now I need to return to it again. Oh, but I’ll still be spending much time in the garden, I’ll be taking photos, [...]
