| Our cardoon's first bloom (planted last year). A relative of the artichoke. We didn't have much success with blanching and eating the stalks last year, but the blooms sure are nice and the bumblebees love them. |

| Sedum in bloom, another last summer favorite of the bumblebee. |

| Testing out our repaired irrigation system and new sprayer. Our volunteer sunflowers (background) are out of control! |
