That’s all this post, just some photos I like with a bit of commentary.
I started to look up what sort of moth this is enjoying the Cosmos and I stopped myself. I’d like my first impulse to evolve from always wanting to name and label and define, often before I even truly and deeply experience. I think that chimes back to the old adage, ‘Stop and smell the roses.’
Another first flower for me in the garden–Tythia Mexican Sunflower–my how the bumblebees are loving it!
Our bees are remiss to allow me to split them lately, even though they appear to need more space.
In years past I’ve complained I have too little dill to last the year and it bolts so quickly in the heat. This year I swung in the opposite direction and have so much I don’t know what to do with it all.
We agreed to have an easier garden seadon since we are very busy remodeling the bathroom, which has already grown into remodeling the 2nd bedroom/office/cheese room/seedling space, but somehow that never works out.
We’re getting loads of green beans from Hubby’s super green wall which also includes Trombetta squash, luffa, sunflowers and volunteer tomatoes.
The lettuces and peppers are doing great and we’re getting loads of tomatillos already. We decided on those over tomatoes this year because the green salsa is so delicious.
And the chanterelles are abundantand the Mimosas are blooming, and I just can’t resist.
I’ve been working on the latest addition to the Herbal Explorations pages, another demonized tree I’ve finally been able to identify and start growing and I’m so excited, the Chinaberry tree, called invasive and deemed illegal to buy, sell or import into these parts. The usual official nonsense that attempts to destroy the reputation of yet another beneficial and medicinal species.
That’s a photo from online, but I hope mine looks like that someday!
Here is the happily growing young Mimosa I dug up from the road 2 years ago.
Some wild flowers on my route to my milk lady’s house.
Thanks for stopping by!
