What's growing in your garden?
I wanted to share a warm, summer morning scene with you this Monday. No, it's not a sunny sunrise but a small slice of the bounty that is our local berry crop. By "bounty" in our garden I mean about 20 blueberries but that's better than last years eight.
Despite living on a small urban lot we've endeavored to rid ourselves of useless grass and instead grow plants that provide for local wildlife a little and us as well. Sarah could probably list everything but I'm love all the lavender she brought back a couple summers ago from Sequim. The bumblebees are all over the stuff from dawn 'til dusk which just makes me happy. The new little garden we just put in has a raised bed where we planted four different tomato plants. One roma plant in particular has too many little baby green tomatoes to count!
So what's growing in your garden this season?

Photos ~ Minor damage to Marcato after car accident
As Exit133 reported, a car hit the Marcato condos this afternoon. I stopped by a minute ago and the Tacoma Ave. is wide open and the car that hit the building has been removed. I talked to a resident who said she was in the building when the elderly gentleman slammed into the southwest corner of the building coming from the south. She said the entire place shook and swayed and she actually though it was a bomb. She and a couple others told me the man driving appeared to be OK and was talking but may have had minor injuries.
Damage to the building isn't significant with a chunk of brick facade fallen off as well as a glass door broken. Some railing and other cement work will need to be cleaned up as well. Bets are that where Tacoma Ave. narrows just outside the building they'll soon be putting up some decorative barriers and hopefully a reflector or two to make sure folks know the roads going down to a single lane.
