The geraniums I collected from the giveaway garden out by UBC last summer have begun to bloom and &#8230; they are purple, a lilac purple colour, which I am thrilled about, since I&#8217;ve been romancing purple tulips all season long.<\/p>\n<p>The Mother&#8217;s Day begonia from my Beloved is a strong, annunciating pink in a corner of its own and I have to say I had a moment of very brief admiration over the fact my plot is waking up.

And enjoyed some of her fennel in a tea I brewed tonight. The guinea pigs also downed a chunk of said fennel. I love her garden because it is like several gardens in one. A whole nesting of different continents. Plus Bees live there, which makes it even more special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the garden today i was delilah to hear the Mason bees chattering in their little house, which is located right beside my plot.
