adina~that purple blossom is gorgeous. Glad to see there's an end to the winter you've had.
legergardener~I love the look of the misty ocean view. "Official" planting day is Memorial Day in May; except for root veggies, nearly everything planted has been started indoors weeks earlier. Carrots and radishes, in the soil, from seed, do have time to grow to maturity. The season is short, intense and with 24 hour light, grow non-stop. Mid-late August ends the growing season, but harvesting pototoes, carrots goes till early Sept. Cool weather crops are grown here. Normal summer temp is mid-60's w/cool rain frequently.

Gray day here, too. Overlooking frozen pond-we live at the base of the mountain in the distance.
