Spring blooms

graceful dogwood

The marigold graces the edibles in this pot...from the back forward is broccoli, spinach, marigold, spinach and basil.  Though they were covered with an individual upturned empty flower pot over each one, then a sheet over the whole container on the ground, weighted down carefully, the basil did sustain some frozen leaves on top...as well as the spinach on the outer edges...during one of the 2 nights of freeze last week.  (just in case you wondered!)

 Thought for the day:

Many paths lead from the foot of the mountain, but at the peak we all gaze at the single bright moon.
