My Garden

What - you don't think this is a picture of my garden!!!

Well!

You're right of course.... sigh - if only... if only. ;-)



Here's the real garden. Note the nice planter boxes that Merina, Antoon, and Fred (Merina's ex) helped build.

The seats are very handy for sitting and relaxing.

In the smaller one I have some Jerusalem artichokes (the tall plants) and behind them three thornless blackberry bushes. The blackberry bushes are still very small but will hopefully eventually fill the box. Yummmmmmmmm.

In the bigger box I have a row of scraggly tomatoes at the front - you can barely see them in this photo, and in the back a strawberry plant - but the darn crows are picking all the strawberries before they are even ripe! :(



Then there are the raspberry bushes - they are covered in berries and should be ripe in about a month or so. (Possibly less.)

Then there's my red currents - here you can see one of the pesky crows feasting. Luckily there are tons of the berries and I should be able to have at least some of them (have actually already had a few).

I picked a small bowls worth of black and red currents, gooseberries, and saskatoon berries and dad & I had them in pancakes this morning.

Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!

Recent Photos

Here are some recent photos .... this first one was taken on May 30th, at the "Celebration of the Arts" fair where I had a table, selling my hand-made cards.

I sold 15 cards total - which I thought was pretty good.

Dad's sitting at the end of the table in the sunshine. He got a slight sunburn, and overdid it with wearing his prosthesis and got a few blisters.

He's had to wait for the past 2 weeks for the blisters to heal.

And then here's Cleo, my puss. This was taken while she was sitting on my lap!

She is such a sweetie, and sleeps with me at night.

(And loves sitting on the mouse pad so that I have to pet her and stop typing..... like she is trying to do now....)
