July 13 pictures.
Broccoli patch, with one plant that something continues to eat despite my best efforts. The plants around it are relatively unscathed. The inter-planted dill is supposed to deter the white cabbage moths.
Amaryllis down one side of the herb bed. There are 6 adult and one baby bulb. They all have buds rising except for one adult bulb, and the baby bulb. All are red but one, which is pink with a cream center.
Kelsae onions, which were started from seed this spring. Looking so forward to their big, sweet, deliciousness.
New Zealand spinach, new this year and un-sampled as of yet. It just recently started to take off.
Several varieties of squash, just learning to crawl across the patio slabs. It will soon be time to move the picnic table. A big yellow female flower on two of the plants this morning! Where are the guys??
Red Carmen peppers.
Green California Wonder peppers.
First tomato to colour up. A Sweet Million cherry.
The tire planter with crocosmia which overwintered in there, well mulched, even though they are not supposed to be hardy to this zone. The marigolds are Vesey's Super Hero mix, and I'll be growing them again. They are such compact plants with big cheery blooms.
First zucchini flower, a female.
Hooray! At least two of the climbing beans are Scarlet Runners, and they are blooming even though they have barely started to climb???
Quite a few nice sized, green Brandy Wine tomatoes in this row of 6 plants. Can hardly wait!!!
The cucumbers...starting to crawl, but wait...what is that supposed cucumber in the foreground...I question it's DNA! The far plant is a pumpkin.
On the trail cameras....little bear is growing bigger, and Mom and calf moose went by one of the trail cameras.
Wonderful photos. There is always something both calming and hopeful about a garden. Do you leave your amaryllis in the ground over winter? My husband bought me two for Christmas and I really ought to move them from their pots.
ReplyDeleteThank you Leigh. This is actually the first time I've put them out in the ground. The flower stalks are much shorter and stronger due to not having to stretch to reach the light. I'll be unearthing them and bringing them in before frost.
DeleteThanks Rain. Your broccoli and cauliflower seedlings will be fine. They both love cooler weather and taste better with a touch of frost.
