Besides some minor "editing" of the garden (removing the old and rearranging the others, beating back the wilds and regaining some living space), there's not a lot to tell of these in-between days.
Just waiting for things to ripen and already planning how I will do things differently next year...
In the meantime...
A pickle is worth a thousand words:
Various green tomatoes:
The Sunrise Rose plant has bloomed again! Huzzah!
But these ones are ready for eating (and in fact were eaten shortly after this was taken... our first tomatoes):
Trying to show what the garden looks like from inside looking out. Hard to tell from this but it's a lovely little retreat out there (now that it has been "edited"):
The earliest and ultra-est of the UltraGirl variety stands out in a profusion of green:
I remember having something like this around the house when I was small. I loved the fine mist it made and carried it around as a personal-cooling-device in the summer. I had to buy one when I saw them reduced by 50% at Chapters of all places (do they even sell books anymore?).
I'm not sure what plants need misting but once that's demystified, you can call me Ms. Misty:
The first yella-bellied Yellow Plum:
And the first of the Cherry Tomatoes:
These Dalias were $2 on the side of the road in Mennonite country:
The Spearmint has finally started to get somewhere. I think because I put a guard dog on patrol:
These tomatoes look OK from up top but turn them over and they're a sloppy mess. So sad.
