Garden
July 9-14, 2018

| Another good garden week!!! |
 |
| You can see the bare stalks from me breaking off the leaves. |
 |
| I'm harvesting so many greens this year!!!! I'm so glad! I feel awful spending $5- $10 dollars a week buying greens most of the year. With my garden this year I will be able to use MY greens for months! Yay! |
 |
| This year we are trying to grow Tomatillo plants. They are really doing very well. |
 |
| The Burbank Russet Potato plants are doing very well. |
 |
| The green beans are coming in nicely. In front of the Marigold plants is the Spinach Bed. I'm letting the spinach bolt so I can collect the seeds for new spinach next year. |
 |
| Dd's corn is growing well. I hope it can beat the cold weather. |
 |
| I've added string for the upcoming green bean plants to grow. I've tried to spread out my bean planting so I have green beans for longer this year. |
 |
| Dd's sunflower plants, outside our garden fence, are getting so tall! |
 |
| This middle garden is doing well. A volunteer sunflower has risen above the tomato plants it is next to. On the other side the section of carrots seem to be doing well. I can't wait to see if they are getting big under the dirt! |
 |
| This is the Peony plant G & G brought to us from their yard. I am SO relieved to see that it is going to survive the move. Usually, transplanting anything in the excess heat of July is a horrible idea. |
 |
The old front flower bed is doing well although I haven't kept up on the weeding like I should.  |
 |
| The SUNFLOWERS are all getting so close to blooming! Dd is so happy about that! |
Next Week:
I see green beans starting to show--I see beans in our future! And lots of more greens getting blanched and frozen!

Love your gardening pictures, a perfect way to spend, a wintry, 10 mins before bed: Sighing over the the sunflower! One of my favourite flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis week the Black-Eyed Susan's and Dd's row of sunflower's are blooming. We love sunflowers too! In Indiana all our sunflowers would bring in Goldfinches far and wide---do you all have Goldfinch birds? Goldfinch males are bright yellow with black lines and the females are a more mutted brown. They are very small and petite--streamlined. The fly like mini roller coasters, up and down as the gracefully wave away. Cute little 'chip' sounds. They are really great birds--eat thistle. Do you all have them? I'll have more sunflower pix this week for sure as so many are bursting to open! Yay! But, their blooming also is another sign of the ending part of summer..sniff, sniff. Glad for your turn though! Sending my dear friend a bouquet of sunflowers to grace your dining room table. Hugs!!
