It's A Jungle Out There

Post-Wisteria Pictures

Been out of state-- and off-grid-- for ten days now. Whilst away I had a friend come water my garden for me (THANKS M!!!). She was able to reap a small bit for her gracious help-- go HERE to take a gander.

And now, gander at what she dinna pick:




We'll start gnawing on the stuff above tonight, and the following in the coming days:








I won't bore you with the weighing details [seeing as I haven't yet tended to that task. Ahem...] but in stead allow my photography to send you to the arms of Morpheus.

Slainte, folks!

Garden Photos Taken 18 Feb 2009


Ten days ago I direct-seeded my backyard garden area. So early in the season, and the weather being unpredictable at best here on the Gulf Coast, I wasn't sure the luck.

Figured the greens-- bib lettuce and spinach-- would sprout as cold weather-preferring plants:

Was right-- in fact we saw sprouts not five days after seed...

The green beans aren't much of a surprise either:

What is, is their extraordinary growth over the last 3 days. The seedlings are by far the strongest showers in the bed, some as tall as 4" from poking dirt three days ago...

Some squash-- yellow crookneck if I remember correctly:


And most surprising to me, given the warm-soil preference of okra, is to see several stout seedlings on the rise...


There's also sprigs of onions (not pictured) coming up.

Fairing well, considering the time of year, and that the new growth and constant watering are confusing Smokey and C.B. about litterbox options...

I thank you for dropping by, and hope you continue to come share joy at Nature's progress through another Turning of the Great Wheel...

Slainte.
