"a flower is an educated weed"

So says Luther Burbank. My husband and I often have "discussions" regarding what exactly is a flower versus a weed. To me, the distinction is almost always irrelevant---a purty flower is a purty flower. :-)

If the wind eventually dies down here---it's been whipping all day---this weekend is for green thumb activities. Tomatoes, chilies, basil, and dill need to be potted out, along with some eggplant and cilantro. I *do* so love this time of year!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!!!
