Peas so lovely, peas so many

In the beginning, the young transplants were well behaved.

Shoots, leaves and early blossom on 'Brazilian Snow Pea'Very soon, though, the dwarves and giants got into a bit of tangle.

And 'Green Arrow', being of modest stature and slower pace, got caught in the middle & was almost overwhelmed.

In the end, everyone finally decided to shake hands and share teepees.

At the community garden

As I mentioned earlier this week, I'm trying the new Squarespace 6 platform.

If you're interested and have a few moments (the posts are short), you're welcome to pop over to the "summer home" and read about the community garden.

Here are the direct links:

At the community garden: good neighbours

At the community garden: lavender & more

At the community garden: inviting the pollinators

As always, I welcome all comments and feedback. And it's ok to be a silent reader, too :-).

...or maybe not

In yesterday's post, I announced Greens & Berries' had moved to its new summer home.

But I've reconsidered. Much as I like the new Squarespace 6.0, I love the platform (version 5.0) I've been using, tweaking, and becoming very familiar with during the past few years.

So I'll be staying here. For now. But also testing the new platform and perhaps using it more like a Tumblr blog, for writing very quick posts and clipping interesting Web links.

Thanks for your patience!

Admin note

Apologies to all who have left comments recently -- I'm unable to comment on my own blog so can't acknowledge them.

I'll try to get this sorted out quickly.
