Electric Blue Sage (Salvia chamaedryoides) is a California native plant, and drought tolerant. The small bright blue flowers appear in the spring and continue until fall.

I love having freshly picked tomatoes to top a salad. The wonderful thing about gardening, is enjoying the beauty of the present, and looking forward to the future, whether it’s to grow flowers or veggies.
