Today’s Gardio Workout was digging a hole in hard Oakland clay so I can transplant this root bound rose bush
The rose is still alive, somehow, without having been watered (except rain and dew) for two or three years
I then pruned it way back. Maybe it will survive despite my lack of knowledge

Took a San Francisco Leather District walking tour today
I feel it posed more questions than it answered, but it was a fun way to spend two hours with my husband

I’ve harvested enough basil from our two balcony plants to make pesto for our supper. I think a July harvest will finally make this a profitable farming operation (versus just buying the leaves at the grocery store). Looks like one harvest each month, and I’m hoping it keeps up until October

Current political events are distressing. One form of my self care is taking a walk among the beautiful redwoods 10 minutes from my home.

Adventures in the garden
These are “weeds”, but they’re pretty. Maybe next year I’ll leave one patch of yard wild. We also get a lovely display of nasturtiums

I was introduced to Smith Teamaker in Portland last summer and spent the past winter trying a number of their teas. I just bought three of their herbal ice tea blends for this summer. This is the Hibiscus Mango cooler — just in time for our heatwave
