Monday photos of the week June 15, 2009
This month is just flying by! 15th of June already o.0It poured pretty much all day today :/ Great for the flowers and veggies but not so great for wanting to get fit walking around town. I could just use an umbrella but its been so windy that the umbrella ends up inside out and that defeats the whole purpose of the umbrella :p meh its only rain I'm not going to melt (well at least I don't think so.....). Short blog post today of some of the plants in the backyard.
The veggie patch from the stairs. A couple potatoes, beans and the lots of onions.
The strawberry plant and then the peas which have started to grow pods :D so will have fresh peas soon. and hopefully some strawberries if the birds don't get to them first.
A few of the fuschias that we were not sure survived the winter but thankfully they did. I love the pink and white one, the flowers get huge on it :)
Windy days and brollies just don't mix well at all, do they?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos....I'm jealous of your veggie patch. The fuchsias are sooooo pretty!
Great photos. I love fuschia blooms. I remember pulling them off my mum's plant and playing ballerinas with them!
ReplyDeletefuschias are beautiful, wish I could have a garden );
ReplyDeleteEverythibng looks so summery with the all the color and growth. Hope you get some sunny days soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer Rose, thanks for your comment on my blog. I appreciate it. Your garden looks great, a wee bit ahead of mine here in Ottawa, Canada. :-) The fushias are stunning!
ReplyDeletebeautiful fuschia blooms!
ReplyDeleteWe had our first straberries :) just planted a few planys in planters and a few hrbs and veggies, your garden look great!
Your veggie patch looks great! Ours is so neglected this year: cold wet spring and other distractions. I need to check if any of our strawberries are ripe. The fushias are beautiful. You are so lucky to have them as a (somewhat tender)perennial. I have tried to over-winter them indoors but they seem suceptable to bugs inside. My Mum over-winters them in her greenhouse(in Victoria) but remembers them growing tree-like when she was a child in Ireland.
ReplyDeletelol no they don't mix at all, I should tie a kite to the umbrella next time. It would probably fly :p
ReplyDeleteLiesl- cute :) I'd never seen them before moving here
kerry- why can't you have a garden? even a small patio garden works well :)
linda- rain again today :/ hoping for sunshine tomorrow *crosses fingers*
teresa- your welcome, I came across your blog the other day and really enjoyed it :) I haven't been to Ottawa, hopefully get there one day :)
helen- thanks, it looks a lot better then when we first moved in. Wasn't a veggie patch then, ws a couple of half dead bushes :/ no strawberries yet here, lots of flowers tho :)
jenifir- We lost a few of the fuchsias last winter to frost that were in the greenhouse :/ there are a few in the area that are huge trees, they are gorgeous but sometimes they get a little too big
