So there we go, a gimp tour of our backyard. The stump is still there so maybe there’s hope. Sadly, our previously stunning, well- established, huge orange rose picked up some weird infection and basically rotted away.

This was a full garden bed a few days ago. My husband is finally tackling that project and has cleared out a ton. This deck area was the original, overgrown garden when we moved in and we’ve never done too much with it. Hopefully some flowers soon! The ‘Ring of Fire’ pepper plant in the tub has tons of blossoms on it already. The hummingbirds love them! Cosmos from seed in the planter. Buddleais (butterfly bush, right top) are starting to bloom. There are more blueberries hiding all over this bush. I’m so glad I got them protected with bird netting before The Incident. Lemon tree is doing well even though we’ll have an ongoing battle with the crabgrass up here for the foreseeable future.īlueberries! We’ve had these bushes for almost ten years but they’ve been moved around so much they’ve never really produced. Top garden – I’ve waited too long to harvest this artichoke now. And some self-seeding lettuce that I hope will naturalize in the garden. And the buggers are around, our daughter had to step over a tiny fawn sleeping on our doorstep one night, and got charged by mama another night! More potatoes, carrots, onions, leeks, kohlrabi and beets. The apple tree bed, with the oh-so-attractive, temporary deer fencing. Calla lilies coming up and bachelor buttons from seed are starting to flower. The other side of the oldest part, and the lily and hollyhock bed. The daphne (right) is in full bloom for the second time this season and smells heavenly. These steps are also the most established part of the garden. My first batch didn’t work too well, it smells like pesto for some weird reason. The oldest part of the garden – I plan to make lavender oil with some of this lavender.
🤷♀️ The carrots and leeks will still be a while. The zucchini and cucumbers are doing pretty well but I’m a bit surprised that the cucumbers are flowering already even though they haven’t grown very tall. This bean has the right idea! I’m hoping the sunflowers will be big and strong enough to support the cucumbers growing in front too, but I’m thinking that’s probably too much to ask. So far so good! Cucumbers, peas, kale, dill, beans and quinoa. The alstroemeria finally gets to flower too, another deer favourite when they get in. I think sunflowers prefer not being disturbed. These sunflowers are doing better, they’re the same height as those first ones but I direct sowed them much later. Potatoes, peas, beans, lettuce, kale and camomile. This is the first time it’s been able to flower because the deer kept eating it last year. The everlasting sweet pea on the driftwood tree needs tying again too. View from the bottom ‘entrance’ – Check out the spaghetti squash, it’s enormous! These sunflowers (left) aren’t growing fast enough to be trellises for the beans, even though I started them early from seed and transplanted them. The raised beds- The kohlrabi will be ready soon, and more peas! So it’s much shorter but still growing! Carrots, onions, beets and a tomato branch that I poked into the middle that’s now a new plant. The tomato on the right is the one that broke right off when I transplanted it. Holy tomatoes! Some peppers and cucumbers too. The deck – My poor potatoes have been flattened by the almost constant wind. 🤢Īnyway, the garden has been neglected for several days and I’m not loving the crutches so we’ll see how this goes…
No matter how chuffed I was that our daughter asked for choreography help for one of her videos, it was just plain dumb. Lesson Learned: Pirouettes and garden clogs are a terrible combination. So yeah, I’ve sprained, possibly broken, my ankle. But we can’t, so we have to chalk it up to Lessons Learned. Those moments in life, often a split-second, we wish we could go back and do differently.
