Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Celebrating bounty

I haven't checked to see if this first tomato will turn big or just ripen into a cherry tomato.  I did keep all the labels on each plant.  I'm so excited, I had to share it here!

And here are some of the other bountiful gifts from nature in my garden. 
Sharing those broccoli leaves with some critters...
Some of the basil looks ok, some of it is really struggling
And the cilantro is bolting into becoming coriander...I've cut it back hoping it will still give those luscious tasty leaves, and moved it into a shadier location.  The advantage of container gardening!
