garlic scapes & community garden plot

 first garlic scape harvest! 

 mmm. the first big harvest from my community garden plot is here! I planted this garlic last Fall, and despite it struggling a bit with a leek moth infestation, it is scaping beautifully.

lupins going to seed

i love this pic, because in this evening light, you can see the lupin seeds growing inside their pods. Not ready to pick yet, let them swell, brown & dry on the plant.
then separate from the plant material & set aside to dry again.
check out this post for more details and step by step pictures. 

this is what the seeds look like if you don't get to them & they spread themselves through your garden. I think they look so beautiful like this!
