This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| A friend had strawberry plants spilling out of his garden and onto the pathways. He dug them up from the path, and separated them into bags for giveaways. I took one with 3 plants. Dad had some spilling out of porch pots, so he took those off and planted them all in a newly turned over flower bed in the back. I'm hoping he won't forget and dig them up this fall. We're picking green peppers, yellow squash and zucchini from the garden. I have basil, dill, and chives ready for picking as needed. The eggplants are sill growing. We've gotten one tomato, which is like a lot of home grown tomatoes, oddly shaped. We grow irises from my grandmother's garden. She passed in 1989. My dad rented her house out for a few years, then put it on the market. Before it was sold, my brother dug up her irises, as many as he could. She grew them almost the full length of her driveway, plus a few beds in her back yard. People would stop their cars on her busy street, to come tell her how beautiful they were. So sometime in the 90's these irises came to the house my dad now owns, where I live, and my brother's house in another town. They have sentimental value for us. They have multiplied and are now crowded together. Dad wants to dig them all up this fall and replant them, in rows, neat and orderly. We don't have all the colors my grandmother had. But we enjoy them a lot. So that will be a project for us after the hot weather. |
