Black Krim and Old German tomatoes are in!!

I did not grow very many tomato plants this year. I always overdo. I love that I can grow bedding plants that look better than the garden centres and that is how I end up with flats full. I only had to plant two Black Krim and two Old German, two Sungolds to go in still and I have a few to take to family members. I planted the zucchini, my sister's White Custard Pattypan and my Butternuts.

What do you think of this trellis system? I came up with it on the fly. Normally I place the poles straight up, but the ground is already too dry and hard.

Five years old today!!! Can you believe it?

This blog is five years old today. Can you believe it? I can't.

Thank you being along for the ride my friends.

Meyer Lemons

This was the latest batch of Meyer Lemons from my tree. They have now been juiced, frozen in ice cube trays and bagged in the freezer. I think I finally figured out why the leaves on the lemon and lime trees have been so yellow. I will do a post about it shortly.

Weird orange East sky tonight

Tonight I was working in the garden and everything started looking a strange colour. Very much like last years BC Forest fires, but not as yellow. I looked up and the west sky was blue with white clouds, but the east sky had this amazing cloud formation in a dark orange. It was weird.

 

 

 

Flowers....showing unbridled enthusiasm

I went to the garden to take a couple of pictures of my Iris for a friend. I thought you might like to see what is happening in the garden today too.

 

 

This Abraham Darby Rose is huge. Look at it compared to my hand.
