This is the time of year when I reacquaint myself with the landscape we have been creating for the last 15 years. After a cold winter, a wet spring and then 29 days of non-stop sunshine from the end of may, my garden is blooming. Roses Tumble over the trellis as does a grape vine and Wisteria. jasmine and Honeysuckle cascade over the fence. The sweet smells soothe my soul. It is endless work, deadheading, weeding, pruning, staking and harvesting. I bring in daily bouquets of flowers and daily vegetables and herbs. There are families of Chickadees and Sparrows and Finches.
I have my first ripe tomoato and three pears on my new pear tree.
This is the most beautiful place in the world. My plan is to keep a summer diary of my life with the plants, of recipes I create from what I have grown, photos and perhaps even sketches.
