Jammin' with Rose Jam

A batch of Rose Petal Jam from a never-before-used bush.

I've had it for a while. All the rain is making it very happy. 

Got three roses from it last week -- enough for a batch of jam. 

The petals.

My "garden" has reverted to "pond" state from all the rain.

I'll replant more mustard, cilantro and mizuna after the water evaporates.
