A tiny taste of Provence, right here in Northern California

A walk through the garden this morning revealed a tiny pumpkin, alongside a bright orange blossom waiting to be pollinated by the bees. A little zucchini, which we will have to remember to pick tomorrow so it doesn’t become a baseball bat, chard ready to be harvested and a small forest of sunflowers that have taken over at the edge of the garden, much to my delight. The bees are busy buzzing in them and having a wonderful time.

My lavender and sunflowers give me a tiny taste of Provence, right here in Northern California.
