Visiting Carmel by the sea

In Berkeley

March 29

After about three weeks my echinacea are finally about to poke their heads up.

I can also see the zinnia that I planted directly in the garden poking up.

The sunflowers that I transplanted to the yard are also all doing well and growing quickly. However I planted them all too close together, thinking only a couple would make it. I think I will move a few of them again and hope they make it.

My foxgloves have grown about a foot just in the past week.

Zinnia sprouting

Sunflower transplants doing very well against fence. Might move them today so they are spaced out.

New kitchen

I love this view of our kitchen - yes it's still quite small but redoing it made a world of difference.

The only big design flaw is that our old fridge does not fit correctly. I guess it may be time to get a counter depth fridge...
