ahoy matey, happy holiday to all ye scallywags...face it, we're master gardeners and that makes us landlubbers by default. we gave it a shot but the celebration didn't last long-none of us quite knew what to say and the conversation quickly changed. but it was fun, for a minute or two.
and how do a bunch of landlubbers/gardeners celebrate talk like a pirate day? by eating cake! today we had a sweet potato-pecan upside down cake. gooey pecans on top and sweet potato cake on the bottom-yummy! arrrrgh, now if ye jerns us in that thar garden, ye too might be havin some cake...
the climbing spinach is reaching out all over. i had two branches in water on my kitchen counter for a week. my cat enjoyed the leaves and then i noticed they had sprouted roots. into the home garden they went. they are now climbing my bean poles.
texas star hibiscus. this plant has finally bloomed! here it is at 8am.
we installed the soil fork in the herb garden. we will find some sort of climber to plant with it and i also want to hang a hummingbird feeder from it. i thought about a bird feeder but do not want to spend time picking sprouts.
we relocated our gate and will install the arbor where it was on the other side of the herb garden.
the herb garden has run amok! basil everywhere needing to be pesto'd!
while removing some logs, we found lots of these centipedes
anne weeding the pathway. she did a wonderful job of getting it all cleared. now if we just had some mulch...david???
hyacinth bean blooms are so pretty, i love the color they bring to the garden
now, doesn't that look better? the sign is standing and flowers are blooming below it.
let's move on to what is happening in the garden:
perilla in the asian herb bed is now in bloom
habaneros!
long cayennes or cowhorn peppers
