Well last weekend was just enchanting! The country has this ethereal quality about it; Miyazaki really nailed it in "My Neighbor Totoro". Its kind of like how you feel when your on vacation in Europe, sitting in the shade in some gorgeous Italian plaza, drinking wine or cafe latte at a cafe. You can just sit back and breathe for a change! And everything is making you feel pleasant and happy.
Also... I got a whole shopping bag full of fresh lettuce from the garden! That's enough lettuce for a week if I eat salads for every meal!!
Anyways moving on... more photos of the garden in June in the "photos" section. It was in top form this past weekend. That mulch I put down 3 weeks ago is paying off. I have realized that some wee slip of a plant that I added 3 years ago is now a towering behemoth, and some transplanting and dividing is going to be necessary.
We have also begun turning the front garden into a very respectable garden indeed! We planted canna lilies and sunflowers by the rhubarb. And I transplanted some morning glories I started from seed last week.
Also callas, transplanted echinacea from the back garden and white gladiolas, and thinning out a huge bramble of black raspberries ... although they still need to be thinned out more and mulched, but I'm hopeful!
