My continuing rant about the wind is still in effect. We have been
having gusts from our usual breeze (7 to 14 mph) upward to occasional 46/59
mph. It dries everything out faster than one can imagine. Sooooo, in my photos you will sometimes see the ubiquitous watering hose lying around. As I
can be quite lazy at times I don't always coil it up neatly. Here is an
example, the garden yesterday.
The garlic is looking so healthy, I think I chose wisely on the kind we are growing this year.
We have already eaten some of the early green garlic and it is wonderful. Needs a little weeding today! The garden is tiny compared to the one I had back East but as I'm a great many years older it takes me about the same amount of time to keep up with it. I also find that just sitting and plotting new garden amendments is very enjoyable! The mint has taken over as you can see at the bottom of the photo, out, out damned mint! It is delicious but how much can two people use in a year?
The Sweet Woodruff has been blooming for about 10 days and it smells wonderful. I just love the funny faces on the pansies. The red Peonies are blooming and I'll cut them this afternoon and bring them in as we are to have a hail storm tonight. The Aquilegia is close enough to the wall that it might make it without help. We'll cover the apple tree and the tomato plants and then hope for the best.
Always something. I guess I'll go and water!
