Been in the garden again this morning! I can't seem to stay out of the garden these days, so I have decided to wait until this winter to clean house again. :)
The lint balls blowing off the ceiling fans will just have blow a while longer.
Early morning and the leek is removing it's night cap, or that's what it looks like to me. Isn't it neat?
Last summer Lowes had their garden plants on sale including leeks. I know nothing about leeks but bought a six pack and planted them. The plants never amounted to much so when the garden was cleaned up last fall I threw them out...except for this one that was missed...
This leek has grown and grown and attached itself to my heart. It's so pretty! I'm keeping this one, as long as it lives.
and those six foot tall lilies towering above the bird bath are blooming.
and a patch of wild yarrow growing in the front yard...
Summer of 2017 I bought a pot of Yarrow, set it out in the herb garden and it died. The wild will do just as well.
Oh, and this is the little leaf cucumber planted in the half barrel...
and this will be our first cucumber. Did you know that Poppy hates cucumber? He sure does.
and speaking of Poppy. Sunday was a nice quiet day so Poppy thought he might fish a little, maybe catch a big fish from our teeny tiny pond...
instead he caught a teeny tiny fish...
poor little fish. It was not injured and is now back in the pond swimming with the big fish.
here's Eli...
this is where he stands to see down the dirt road. Sometimes I put my arm around him and we stand there together, especially at night when he sees something in the woods or hears a strange noise. Scary things in the woods, you know. Last night it was tiny little flying squirrels eating at the bird feeder. Poppy got the spotlight and we saw them.
Guess that's about it for this time, Oops! the stir-fry broccoli...
see the tiny broccoli heads. We've had the broccoli twice already, in stir-fry.
Thank you friends, and thank you to a new follower, Chi Chi Mum from North Carolina. Yay!
Also, I appreciate the comments on my last post, and glad several of you warned me about the pretty plant 'Spiderwort' being invasive. Like you, I'm planning to keep it anyhow.
Willie, meant to tell you, that frog on the playhouse wall is not real. :)
Debbie, I do sell some of those plants that I have rooted, but mostly I give them away.
and Deb, no, I did not know there were so many kinds of blueberry bushes. I will Google that and try to find the ones that grow here.
Hope to be back soon.
Love,
Henny
