The garden is blooming!
June 25, 2013 § 8 Comments
Wow! The garden is growing like mad! Everything seems to grow inches between visits. I can see the start of nearly all the veg…. Tomatoes, peas, courgette (or zucchini depending on where you are)! I really don’t know what I’m doing, so I really appreciated it when another gardener came over and gave me some advice….. Cut off all the flowers on your lettuce! Thin the carrots! Eek, ok! I tried to save the lettuce flowers, but they died so quickly. But I enjoyed munching on the victim carrots a lot!
Today I cut some poppies from my garden, and used the walk home as a foraging mission, and managed to get a nice handful of stems, and some dried out seed heads ready to make a little jar arrangement for the house by the time I got back. It’s quite hard to know where the forage/steal line is…… I’m determining it from how quickly I am trying to get away from the scene of the crime! Anyway, today I'm going to link in for the very first time to Jane’s house party Pop over and have a look at what everyone is up to!
Here’s the results of the garden cuttings and walk home.
Here it is again with my favorite goat picture!
Love your flowers – gorgeous colours! Love the goat pic too! Abby
Thanks for visiting Abby! My goat sits in pride of place in the living room, watching us! It was a lovely present from my sister in law when we moved to boston!
Welcome to the party! From your garden or er elsewhere, all f;owers welcome here.
Charming arrangement.
Your garden is blooming!

Am sure your neighbors wouldn’t mind your “foraging” if they saw the lovely result! Very pretty… love the goat! Susan
You sly girl! I didn’t know that was you!!! Your garden IS insane!

Haha yes I’ve been very quiet! Glad it’s going to rain on it this weekend!
I love your garden!!! And the goat pic 🙂
I copied you… I foraged and then I joined Jane’s party!
Thanks….. Going back today after a week of neglect, wish me luck!!
Yay, that’s great, going to pop over for a look now!
