This morning I took camera in hand to get a picture of the Suzies that grow on the front side of our house. They are always very charming.
This one was entertaining a visitor.
These two shots I added to the two images I capture Sunday evening. I went out Sunday to capture a photo of my favorite day lily before it was too late. (It [they] grow[s] on the front side of the house.)
You can see why I particularly enjoy this beauty. After capturing that image I turned 180 degrees to see the sun low in the western sky.
We had received a quarter inch of rain to supplement the 1.5 inches we’d received a couple of days earlier, so the sky was cloudy. The peeking sun did put some drama in the scene.
In the Garden
I haven’t done a good job of reporting on out garden, so this morning I captured this image.
On the left, fence-climbing peas. Behind them are onions that heavy rains have bent down. We’ve harvested about half of them already. Potatoes and tomatoes are behind the onions. Rhubarb grows along the far fence. It doesn’t look big, because we keep it well harvested. The taller green plants are zucchini, which are as prolific as you would expect. Beyond them is New Zealand spinach–a favorite of ours because it doesn’t bolt in warm weather and gives us great greens from spring until first frost. Beets grow along the fence beyond the blue spinner. They are quite tasty this year. We are fed up.
Nice gardening!
We treat it well and it takes good care of us.
Lovely flowers. The colors of the lily are gorgeous.
That particular lily is my favorite because of its colors.
Oh, your garden is lovely! How wonderful to enjoy the bounty. We have one stinkin’ tomato plant and it is HUGE…but one tomato. ONE. Ugh.
If only you were closer . . . We have been giving away tomatoes and zucchinis. In the past, I have pruned tomato plants like yours. I did have many plants back then.
Beautiful way to be “fed up” dear cuz 🙂
I think it’s the best way. That food is fresh and free from chemicals.
Love seeing the garden all greened up. Flowers too, of course!
We take good care of that garden, and it takes good care of us.
Beautiful pictures !! I especially like the garden scene as it reminds me of the gardens that I used to have every year!! It’s great that we’re getting a little rain lately . Our yard has become rather brown instead of green. !!!!
The rain has been great. Over the last week we’ve had about 3 inches. Our lawn is all green again, and the brown has disappeared.
