Green beans galore

How does your garden grow

Tulips. We didn't know they were here when we moved in, but when we returned from Australia there they were. All white tulips that have started to turn purple at the edges as they age. Totally gorgeous.









Asa is a fantastic helper...



...and so is Papa John!


I even pitch in now and again.



We're getting there!



Papa John's poppies



Peas and beans



Giant fennel


Lavender


Hummingbird vine


Snapdragons





Sweet allysum


The quinoa has popped out! We'll see how she fares.

The carrots and beets have also poked there tiny heads above ground, but I'm not sure how they'll do. It's a but late, and a bit warm, for their liking, but I couldn't help but plant them. An experiment in gardening continues...

Progress report

Oh how things grow in the wilds of the Catskill Mountains...
the apples are coming
and the blackberries too.
The nasturtium get even bigger
along with the pumpkins and
the grapes.
The peas are slow growers, but they are coming along nicely.

And there are wildflowers GALORE...

I am in floral heaven, bunches of daisies and irises and wild roses bless every table and counter in our home, dusty warm scents wafting into ever corner. It is summer bliss.
A garden update is coming soon....everything grows and grows in The Land of fast Moving Waters.
