Photo Friday: Bloom
July 10th, 2010 | 
Author: We have three hydrangea shrubs around our house, and all three have huge, gorgeous blooms and are all different colors. I know that the acidity of the soil determines what color they will be; the interesting thing is that we don’t do anything to the soil to affect the color. One is blue, one is purple, and one is pink. I love the huge flower heads they get.
I’m late again for the the Photo Friday weekly challenge, but I’m posting anyway 
Last week’s theme was Bloom.

Urban Farming: Last weekend’s haul
The manure Dan tilled into the garden this spring has made a huge difference in our yield so far this year. We pulled a bunch of onions to make room for basil, and the bell peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes are coming in nicely now.
Today I will be picking and preserving Anaheim peppers and making basil pesto for the freezer, as well as for us.
