I can't believe we're already in June! A little too early for summer vegetables although my son David shared his first Cherry tomatoes with me a couple of days ago, about a month ahead of schedule. they tasted just like I remembered. We shared the moment!
The peas are nearing their end. Marjorie is going to miss them.
One crop that is coming in one tantalizing fruit at a time is my raspberries. I love raspberries but my plantation is not mature enough yet to give me large quantities so that my wife and I end up eating them one or two at a time.

One thing that started popping up in abundance and variety is the lilies, in orange, red, pink, dark maroon, yellow, showing their sharp colors amongst the greenery.
Did I mention that I pulled two wheelbarrows of weeds out of one flower/fruit tree bed and I am not even finished yet? The good thing is that it feeds my compost pile.

| This one is a day lily, meaning its flowers do not last more than a day. |

Your gardening skills never cease to amaze me. Looking at the beautiful results of your work, one would think you were living on a great plantation with a plethora of skilled gardeners at your beck and call! Thank you for the joy the pictures of your beautiful blooms bring us!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! My raspberries aren't doing well this year. :( I think my neighbor is spraying his weeds to close to my bushes! ugh! I think I may have to transplant.
