Happy George Washington's birthday!
As our friends in the gelid North shovel out yet again I offer a small sign of hope. We have a wee, tiny container garden on the back porch. So far the harvest has yielded 2 dozen protractor pencil-sized green beans, 1 golf ball-sized tomato and soon about half a dozen pencil eraser-sized strawberries. (I tend to measure things almost exclusively in terms of office supplies - perhaps I do not get out enough...)The strawberries are such a deep, translucent red that my Dr. P.H. Martin's Radiant Watercolors do not do them justice. I hope there will be a few left for the Pouting Princess to sample if she manages to get home next weekend...
