Can’t help myself
I have already found myself thinking ahead to,
“next year”.
What to grow?
Lovely Leeks
The little, tiny Leek seeds were started in the warm greenhouse in Wintery March.
I transplanted out thin blades of seedlings– in May.
I was sure they would wither away in the intense heat of this Summer.
To my surprise, they grew.
Potato Leek Soup for dinner.
The Pickery
The Pickery
has been providing pretty cutting flowers
throughout the Summer.
Today I will enjoy some sweet Snapdragons.
Late Crops
My late crop of salad greens
are growing well.
The cooler weather has helped.
Garden Visitors
A shade speckled afternoon
of garden friends.
Sweet breezes and practically
nothing to do.
Thank you for visiting,
Judy, Diane, Stacy, and Oscar!
The Entrance
Not a grand entrance, but a good one…
A weathered basket,
with dried sunflowers for the birds.
Garden defined
Fairly simple,
nothing showy,
often a bit untidy and rambling around the edges-
relaxed.
The Greenhouse in Late Summer
Each morning usually starts with a check of the greenhouse and garden, and today marked the first cool morning as we have nearly exhausted the first week of August.
The bon-fire from last night is smoldering, with a hint of smoke trailing from it.
The greenhouse was lit with dapples of sunrise…
It’s going to be a good day–I can tell.
Country Gardens Magazine came to visit!
What an amazing experience!
Way back in March, Country Gardens Magazine Editor, James Baggett called to tell me my greenhouse and garden
had been selected to be photographed for the magazine!
I have loved Country Gardens Magazine for years–and have the stack of back issues to prove it!
James confirmed the dates of their visit earlier this month, and Field Editor Kate Carter-Frederick and I began
a couple weeks of email correspondence.
From her first email, I knew we shared a love of gardening and would become friends.
I knew of her work in Country Gardens Magazine and she is an accomplished writer, and author of many books.
Joining Kate Carter-Frederick, was photographer Karla Conrad and her assistant, Jennifer Caes.
What an amazing team these two were.
Young, enthusiastic, fun, and talented!
They jumped right in, and became a part of the garden for 2 very long days!
and it was HOT! melting Hot!
I learned so much about shade! Karla Conrad photographer.
Jennifer Caes is a champion at holding her arms up over her head!
I so “enjoyed the journey”.
Thank you.
