Growing Along-

8/25/2015

We have had such a busy summer, that I decided to take snaps of the beauties that have been basking in the sunlight and drinking in the rain, as we go about our working day.  I don't seem to tire of walking through and delighting in the constant changes as we alternate and divide out attention elsewhere in the orchard and to other life happenings and necessities throughout the growing season.

Our Aronia ripening.

The morning sun filters through this Aronia bush. We are going to have a nice wee crop this year to enjoy.
Picture
Giant Black-Eyed Susan's towering over the snapdragons. A fuzzy shot, (pre-caffeine, but I liked the contrast.

Some dill showing off, with garlic in their shadow.

Orchard at a glance, ever changing. The Keyhole Garden under mid-construction lower right.

Yonder goes H., harvesting garlic.

A Handful of aromatic, healthy, divine garlic, with their bulbils attached.
Picture
Look at those bulbs! About 250 this year!
Picture
Now that's-a-garlic!!!
Picture
"Good Day!", say this pair of sunflowers!
Picture
Grapes just hanging out, doing their ripening thing.
Picture
A Hibiscus Hello. They are such a nice tropical infusion to the garden, big as a dinner plate!
Picture
A lofty blanket of Cosmos.

Mullein, just beginning their yellow micro-bursts up the stalk. They are biennial , and show offs on the height-chart.
Picture
This is the stunning Ella Campagne. An explosion of these bright yellow flowers dazzle about.

Ripening Elders, growing beyond themselves to extend a greeting. :)
Picture
A Medlar growing along...despite pesky pests partaking of it's leaves.

Delicate, wispy Cosmos, again. Bright, and cheery.

    I am T-  the other half -of the dream-wrangler team, in the Orchard adventure.  
    Mother to 3 amazing adult sons, and grandmother to the biggest rays of sunshine in our lives. Our oldest grand-daughter, we used to call "Little A", but now she is medium to tall-sized.  She is "Miss A" now. The last couple of  years she has greeted a brother, "Little R" , and this past fall, "Little Miss I" and another mister, who will be known as "Little K", arriving any day now!

    Then there's H.- I'll let him elaborate at some point,  but in my opinion, he's the best seaweed wrangler west of the Atlantic. He remains our artist. in residence, and contines to astound T with his penchant for unusual garden-type installations.  He lives to dance a jig with his grand kids, and teach them all about gardens, growing and such.
