First Crop of Grapes

After three years of waiting, our grapevine has finally produced three bunches of grapes!  They have not fully matured yet, but I had to capture this moment before the birds start pecking at them.

Succulents in a Shell

My friend gave me this beautiful succulent arrangement that she made herself!  I love how she arranged the succulent cuttings in this large shell.

Compost Surprise

I fertilize my plants weekly with compost tea (i.e., water mixed with finished compost).  I allow certain seeds to enter my compost bin, and as you can see some of these seeds have made a home in my garden.  

I identified the first one as a strawberry plant, which I will happily keep.  I am also going to keep the second set of plants just to see what it is.
