5. a dividend from being a long-time gardener

Congratulations on a good start to what will most likely be a good season. We have to have them now and then, otherwise we'd never be inspired to garden.

While it's been a long, cool spring and I haven't gotten much planted in my 11 raised beds (only one tomato bed going), I never cease to be astonished at what volunteers come up. I have lots of arugula rustica, kale, lemon balm, which i use to make tea, all kinds of lettuce, asparagus, garlic, all the perennial herbs, such as marjoram, sorrel, chives, sage, rosemary, and probably some others that I cannot recall off the top of my head. Volunteer tomatoes, too.

For the kitties, lots of gorgeous, leafy, catnip. Plenty of black-eyed susan, which I've been transplanting around the property. Beautiful peach colored roses. Lilies.

In addition to all that, two years ago I threw out some wildflower seed. I thought it wasn't any good, as nothing came up. However, this year I am getting all types of unusual, pretty, interesting flowers. There's always a surprise when I go to my garden!
