Clivia

The "national flower" of Changchun, China (see this link). This one is about 8 years old, and blooms reliably once or twice annually. It's seedlings haven't bloomed yet, at about 6 years old.Posted by Picasa

Tomato seedlings

The tomato seedlings are progressing nicely. I might plant them in the soil next weekend.Posted by Picasa

Horse Radish Flower

I read somewhere that they never bloom. Never got around to digging it up this winter. I hope this doens't mean it's at the end of it's growth. Posted by Picasa

Chinese Chives and Rhubarb

So far we've had one batch od dumplings from the chinese chives. Ning has been asked (by me) to make another batch tomorrow. Takes about a pound, and there are plenty. The rhubarb supplied enough to freeze 1 pound for a future pie, and a pie today as well.Posted by Picasa
