Garden Thursday

Hello and Welcome to Garden Thursday. We also survived the hots, back to nice weather, not so humid and just lovely to be outside.

A couple of things to let you know. The cicada's we hear are the ones that come every year. They are not the type that come only every 17 years like a plaque of locusts.We are on the very north edge of their area, at least so far. Maybe as global warming comes we will get more. They aren't due back, if they show up for another 5 years.

Mum thinks she can pick some of the eggyplant to eat in a few days. She will take pictures when she does and we will show you them, cooked and uncooked.

 A few more of our lovely day lilies. Mum even did a few wide shots so you can see how they are looking together.

 

 

This week again was a quiet one at the community garden. Making sure everything got well watered, mum even went over on the weekend on Sunday to make sure they looked ok. We got enough rain last Caturday so they were good and the storms hadn't done any damage. Mum didn't take pics but said she saw three baby pumpkins starting to grown, they are for making pie, not for jack-o-lanterns.

Then mum came home and pruned off stuff on the maple and ash trees. The maple  had all sorts of sucker growth on the lower areas, the ash had low branches that mum had to duck under to use the grass monster.

That is about it for now from the garden. See you next week. Love Virginger, Glimmer, Trooper and Fleur.
