“Solstice Artichoke”, by loyal commentor Raven.
And from commentor Kathi C:
About the only thing that beats picking your own veggies from the yard is the opportunity to prove to the 5 year old grandson that there’s something he likes under those “weeds” (as he’s been calling them). The carrots needed to be thinned and he was willing! If he’s this excited about the carrots, he may burst with pure joy over the Sugar Baby watermelons. I’m pulling bunching onions and the cukes and grape tomatoes should be ready in another week or so. I just love my new “island” with the raised bed. Looks like we’ll have bumper crops of grapes and blackberries too.
Those Oriental lilies are almost scary – last year they topped out at level with the birdbath that they surround and this year the birds are having to fight their way in. I never grew lilies before this house and I don’t know why. Now I’ve got ‘em in all colors & sizes and I really need to start thinking about dividing the daylilies before they march right out of the beds…
How are things looking in your gardens this week?
