| Wild strawberry produces tiny, delicious fruit |
There’s so much going on in our garden, it’s hard to decide what to post. We’ll let the photos tell the story.
Added to the forest garden this week—Wild Strawberries (Fragaria virginiana), a native throughout eastern US but in Florida, found only in Jackson and Leon Counties; Perennial Peanut (Arachis glabrata), an evergreen legume; and Sochan (Rudbeckia lacinata), aka Cherokee Greens, a perennial Rudbeckia with nutritious edible leaves. All good ground covers.

| The artichokes are multiplying. We learned they can bear more than one bud per plant. Can you find three. |
 |
| Yarrow at the base of the bathouse is beginning to bloom. |

| Camille is doing an inch by inch rejuvenation of the patio garden. She says it keeps her off the street and out of trouble. We’ll see. |
 |
| Despite 11 to 14 inches of rain last week, the rain garden looks great. It did exactly what it’s supposed to do by directing water where we want it and preventing erosion. |
 |
| The Blue Flag irises in the rain garden are beginning to bloom. Beautiful! |
