The peas are coming! The beans are coming! The alyssum is coming up all over like stubble, and oh boy did I sow that heavier than I meant to!

The mustard, of course, is well up, and the winged beans are huge. The Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, who can tell it from a weed seedling? Some green things are coming there.

I planted some lamb's lettuce, and potted a small rosemary which I'd picked up because I felt naked without one.

Actually eat: peas.
Be overwhelmed by as always: beans.
Chastely ogle: alyssum.
Nibble to see if I like it: mustard greens.
May not bear anyway: winged beans.
Some say "extra-tasty", others say "laced with toxins, used to strip hair off of hides": M. crystallinum.
All adding up to a lot of leafy greens, isn't it: lamb's lettuce.
Is just a friend: rosemary.

You're just a friend to the rosemary? That's the best one! At least save some for me so I can make my rosemary focaccia. Foccacia? I forget.

It is small still, so if you need lots of rosemary we can drive by my old house and harvest the one I planted there. (I promise I won't grab the neighbors' lavender by mistake this time.)
