Time for summer shorts

Last summer I introduced PPP-lite – quick snippets of news from my garden and studio. I've lots of plans for projects in the studio and garden while the sun shines; so, while I'm busy with other things for a couple of months, I'll be posting summer•shorts . . .

    What a super summer short! Do you know, my crazy eyes, always looking for imagery, actually made me think that I saw a tiny green chick ... before realizing it was a leaf of the artichoke. Wonder if anyone else sees this?

    Best wishes!

    I see chicks too! And I love shorts. We're not even getting rain to send me in for blog time. Enjoy the summer - Paula

    Not sure how I didn't know of you before - just saw your Gold Medal-winning entry at Matron's contest and was totally blown away by both what you grew and how you presented it. Congrats!!!

    What a unique looking butterfly and I'm so envious you can grow artichokes and the like :)

    Hi Karen - welcome to PPPs

    Hi Dianne - this has been a wonderful year for them (amazing the plants got through an unusually harsh winter unprotected).

    Thank you Silverpebble :-)
