Quimper Hittys 
Thanks for the lovely yard tour ladies. Your gardens look lush and bountiful.
I just have such a lovely peaceful time in the garden, I can’t help sharing it, in hopes it might spread the peace and loveliness…The Quimper Hittys think our gardens were invented for them to explore and tend!
Your garden is lovely, with such a variety of flowers and good eats.
The four squashes that appeared out of nowhere we call squirrel plants. Those little critters love to dig up and replant whatever they find.
We see an occasional squirrel, so you might be right! I’ll have to call these squirrel squashes instead of mystery squashes? I wonder what they will turn out to be (and whether we really need 11 squash plants!!)
Mouse melons are perfect Hitty-szed fruits!
The Hittys are particularly excited about the mouse-melons! I am pretty excited to see actual tiny fruits!
gardens are such glorious things! Labor intensive but glorious!
I have never had the time or luck in keeping a garden going before now…I don’t know what has changed though – perhaps it is Hitty magic! I just love sitting out in the garden, and luckily I enjoy watering and pulling weeds too…and picking berries!!
Gardening is amazing… and so exciting to watch their growing… As always beautiful photographs, and dresses are so lovely, Thank you, Love, nia
