Summer 2012

Downsizing this year. Veggies in pots only. No access to a garden plot and that's ok with me for now. Simplify!

Plus, I need to save my energy for digging out the errant bamboo in the front yd -- that's all on me. Clumping, people, not running; c-l-u-m-p-i-n-g.

A few toms, bell pepper, Buttercrunch & Red Sails, broccoli raab (a 1st), stevia (1st), good ol' pineapple sage (for the hummybirds n beez), bee balm (another 1st w/ a nod to the nieces). Yeah yeah, you're saying, Those aren't all veggies. Sorry! I'm streamin' here...

This humid and warming weather is GREAT for the flora. Everything is exploding in its time: lilac, bleeding heart, rhodies, daylilies, columbine, peonies (couldn't resist Shirley Temple), and the roses. Sterling silver, Cecile Brunner, Queen Eliz. (just in time for jubilee!), and my new Gold Glow & Sunsprite. And what fragrances! They all seem more aromatic this season. Love it.
