Salvia in the ground

9/20/07 The Blue Flowers of Salvia ChamaedryoidesThings are a little shaky with the new salvia I received last week and planted according to instructions, post 3-day-hardening period. Much of the leaves of one specimen wilted and/or dropped. Not sure if it’s the climate shock or too much water. I neglected it over the weekend and started delivering liquids yesterday. I’m hoping it will have plenty of time to settle in before the winter season finally arrives.

Pretty enough to eat

9/10/07 Birthday Cake by Jaz RankinJaz sent me a photo of her latest creation: a 2-layer strawberry cake with vanilla frosting in the middle and a layer of strawberry preserve. She called it her “First Semi-Professional Birthday Cake!” I call it a beautiful, professional job! Pass me a fork!
