We had rain on Sunday. Fairly significant too, but now it is Thursday and it has been sunny again for the last couple of days and things are wilting again. My Wisteria has perished, at least in the upper reaches. I now have twigs nicely entwining my trellis instead of a lush canopy. The honey suckle is similarly sad. I suspect they are both in rather poor soil. I do hope the wisteria recovers.
Xena is discovering the great outdoors and loving every moment of it. The peas are finishing and I picked the last of the first lettuce crop today. The next batch is doing well. I also picked my first Zucchini and my first plums. The broccoli has a few heads on. I don't know what will happen when I am away next week. Someone else will have to do the daily picking of the sweet peas so they keep flowering. It is going to be a bumper year for grapes, which is very exciting and the tomatoes are perfect now, but in a week or so I shall be buried in them. The new bed is the perfect spot for them. i think I will try egplants and peppers too next year.
The rose bush by the living room window is amazing. I love the view from the front of my house, now. I never saw it when we had the old wooden shutters up. They were always closed for viewing the TV.
Xena is in her favorite spot, watching the birds at the feeder.
