June 5 : Environment -- My garden of course.
Clockwise from top
| swiss chard | squash | herbs | mint |
Here's our very first squash blossom! Once they start blossoming, there's no stopping these plants! My marigolds are right next to them, and I'm so afraid they'll be overshadowed by the squash! My marigolds need plenty of sunshine!!
June 7 : Bright
My entry for today is our very first nasturtium! Did you know you can eat the flowers?
But after seeing the flowers, I don't think I can bring myself to eat them.
J is a little less sympathetic. This one he plucked right off and popped into his mouth. :(
June 9 : From down low
Somewhere on the ground, the Swiss chard is quietly growing.
I just love how Swiss Chard looks. Especially up close.
The hues, the patterns of the veins, the contrast of the yellows, greens and reds.
Then finally,
a very uninspiring picture of our harvested green beans.
But they do taste oh so delicious!
That's all folks!
your garden looks great! i unfortunately had to face the reality that i had killed my lettuce :( hopefully next time i'll be better at it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! it's not easy to grow them from seeds, but once they go past the seedling stage, it gets easier! And then you just wait to reap the rewards!
DeleteYou must be a really good gardener because your flowers and plants are so lovely. The nasturtium looks a little bit like a hibiscus. I used to eat plants and flowers when I was a kid. I'm very surprised I did not die.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so fresh!!! You've got quite a beautiful garden! Happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! I love your garden. It's full of life!!
