Sunflowers

Carrots and leeks
Carrots and leeks are thriving…

Leeks
Some of the leeks are big enough to eat! And some carrots have been eaten!
.

Lettuce
Perdita could get lost in the neverending lettuce…it has been an excellent year for salad!
.

Surprise!
…and look!!
.

Gooseberries!
We have some gooseberries after all! The cold and windy spring meant that only three of the Gooseberry flowers were pollinated. But last year we only got one, so this is an improvement!

Beautiful
Because of watering restrictions, we can only use the sprinkler at certain times on Sundays and Wednesdays – the flowers love Sunday mornings!

Quimper Hittys 
Glorious! Thanks so much for the peek into your lovely garden!
You are welcome – we love the beautiful garden mornings, and are so glad it is warming up a little to encourage our edibles and flowers!
the garden looks lovely and what a blessing the deer can’t get in. No matter how many fences I build the deer carefully ate all the pea pods – just the pods! And the tops/flowers off the sunflowers, hosta, columbines, lobellia and the baby ginko tree. So far they have left the lettuce.
Oh, DEER! It must be so disappointing and aggravating, and so sad about the ginkgo tree. We are very lucky, and though the fences make it feel more exclusive than formerly, at least they are excluding the deer!
Perdita makes the garden produce look even lovelier! It’s all so delectable looking.
Aw, Perdita is blushing! We are grateful for her help and her perspective…She is the one who called our attention to the three gooseberries! She loves the garden and spending time doing something she loves makes her feel lovely!
that final [photo is gorgeous! Love seeing Perdita in the garden.
The morning light through the sprinkler droplets was otherworldly this morning – we did our best to capture some of the essence! Perdita is in her element – all those greens make her wood happy!
Perdita has a beautiful garden with flowers and vegetables –
Thank you! She tends it very well and sees beauty in it at every season. Of course it is easier to see beauty now that the sun is shining and the days are pleasant.
Mmm, gooseberries! I miss them…
We humans miss them too, but alas, the Hittys are the only ones that will get a gooseberry tart this year (again!). Maybe next year – the refrain of a hopeful gardener…
