State of the garden

Here is a quick snapshot of my garden. I've planted these plants and what I thought were essentials to my garden.

Italian zucchini Romanesque


A patch with all kind of berries


Blackberries, thornless kind


Strawberries, sequoia type


And finally, heirloom tomatoes

Butterfly

I thought I'd almost abandoned this blog. I've been too busy with planting and sowing seeds. Today there was a beautiful butterfly on top of my compost bin so here I'm back to blogging and posting a picture of a beautiful butterfly, not sure what type it is.
