Collecting my lettuce seeds.

It is sticky and oh boy… my hands smell nasty! 🤣

Worth it. ✅

Today’s harvest from my lovely container garden in Chicago. 🏙️

🍓3 strawberries
🍃6 mint leaves
🥬 An assortment of greens

I’m gonna add a few additional ingredients, but it’s all going into a smoothie.

Photograph of some recently planted annuals. Leaves from the plant called Baby's Tears flow out of a 3D-printed head serving as a planter. To the left of the planter are purple Evening Star flowers and bright pink flower that is known to attract butterflies. These are in planters along the porch balcony, with a brightly colored flowerpot containing lavender to the far left of the image. A brick backdrop of the courtyard building, with a few green rimmed window sills, fills the background. Photo taken by the author.

Hope all these new plants fare OK during the chill snap tomorrow...

It's about that time when I wonder how many of my two bulbs survived from the squirrels regardless of what tactics I've used they are smart! We wait to see what comes up. Its a surprise 😆 #landscapedesigner #horticulturist, #chicagogarden #victoriangarden #landscapearchitecture
