I am in Germany visiting my friend. She is an avid gardener and these are just two of many vegetables from her garden.

The textures of the skins are so good Machi! Love the shiny red skins of the peppers and the translucent quality of the tomato skins!

The width of the actual branch looks pretty uniform from top to bottom, but on your drawing it is wider above the side branches than it is…[Read more]

@doug-milne thank you so much, our begonias are so inspiring every season. I overwinter the bulbs and am always delighted when they come into bloom.

@doug-milne Thanks for your ideas about the leaf, it really bothers me too and I like your possible solution so I will try it out.

Considering a few other additions, especially by the nasturtium. Thoughts?

Thanks, Doug. I see what you mean. I’ll work on it.

-
Yes, worked on that a few days ago. I’ll upload the photo. Thanks!
