The rain has cleared and it's warm and sunny. The warm, wet weather has brought my flowers out in spades. Including some flowers that I don't really want to see.

My spring veggies are going to seed. Bummer. They were so tasty, I wish they would stick around a little longer.
But all is not lost. Those flowers produce seeds, and those seeds will grow a new crop of cool season veggies in the fall.

Chinese broccoli with seed pods |
I only wish I'd managed to get a radish to eat. They never did set a good root. Actually, I've never gotten them to set in the spring. They do wonderfully in the fall, though. And the flowers are quite pretty.

Radish Flowers |
But not as pretty as the arugula. I love the purple streaks through the petals.

Arugula flowers |
Everything in this bed came from George of
From Seed To Scrumptious. I named it "George's Garden". Those dandelions were almost too beautiful to eat, but they were also too delicious to leave alone!

Who says a veggie garden can't be pretty? |
I do see some blooms that are welcome in my veggie garden, though.
