life in and around the garden
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.
Vintage garden basket,
well loved, and well used.
And this is why I grow heirloom tomatoes!
And for us, you can’t beat the flavor!
My late crop of salad greens
are growing well.
The cooler weather has helped.
I have been documenting all the different heirloom tomato varieties
with my camera this Summer.
It will be a good way to remember them when the snow is flying this Winter,
and I have my nose in the seed catalogs.
After my little photo shoot the other day,
I had this lovely plate sitting on the table.
The best, largest and prettiest crop of peppers I have ever grown!
As Dr. Gru says in Despicable Me–
Very, very proud!
Fairly simple,
nothing showy,
often a bit untidy and rambling around the edges-
relaxed.
I just have to share these gorgeous Heirloom Tomatoes.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Lot’s to harvest this week in the garden.
The last of the broccoli made a lovely bouquet!
