The first good omen was the clusters of tiny grapes on the grape vines.
Another good omen is the blossoms on the orange tree. The scent is so subtle...
Also, the lettuce, carrots, and onions just keep on producing.
It's still such a treat to have salad straight from the garden.
Things are going well, so I am doing a bit of expansion. Last year we feasted on squash that grew spontaneously from the compost pit. Today I dug a little compost into a new patch of soil and planted squash and melon. I hope these will do as well as the volunteer squash from last year.
