rkoldFor those who don't know, I've fallen into Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs pretty hard and have lately been obsessing about various oils. And of course since I am an awful person, most of the ones I want seem to be hard to find lol I've gotten lucky with a few and now own some bottles i love as well as back-ups of some of my favorites. I'm waiting on some more bottles, some of which I expect to end up in the sale/swap pile ;;_;; Berry Moon is supposed to be musky and Stinky smells like baby powder, neither is appealing sounding. *sighs*
In other news, we've been getting lots of CSA produce which means I've been cooking a lot more. I think my husband appreciates it, because he gets a home cooked dinner most nights now.
The last pictures were from June 26, and it's hard to believe it's not even a month and so much has changed!
Let's start with the potatoes on July 6.
And the garlic
blueberries
Beets, soybeans and leafy greens (hmmmm this area has not changed as much in the last few weeks )
the ever slow cucumber
BTW for those curious, any impatiens you see, we did not plant this year. They spread and reseeded themselves from the year before! o_O; I need to take a lot of them out since they take over.
example
hydrangea waiting to be replanted. For the record, one of these is an infamous Tokyo Delight.
The hydrangea I planted a while ago. They were supposed to be blue....
More failing to be blue. I think I planted these in May '07? I thought they were destroyed but they came back.. except in pink.
The pea vines
Lots of peas! I need to plant our Fall peas.
Future butternut and another variety of zucchini. All the thin grass like things are scallions.
Black Beauty zucchini
arugula, the tomatoes and some sort of wild berry that I ended up taking out
Look, they're bigger!
And making tomatoes :D
beans, I think planted around the 26th o_O
Green beans ♥
On July 15:
The garlic and the potatoes.
our first garlic harvest BTW anyone who has any amount of land, would totally recommend they grow garlic!
Guess what this is!
Our newest fence
More of the squash patch and yes I bought marigolds, they're one of the few things I never have luck with ;;_;;
The Butternut squash
Pumpkin and zucchini. the small green things are radishes, i figure why worry about weeding when I can have radishes growing there! The other plants are Nasturtium.
A female zucchini flower, I think the one I fertilized with the help of a zucchini a few blocks away.
The arugula and the tomatoes
an oregano and an eggplant I bought >>;
hydrangea still === pink
The hydrangea that came with the house and were severely and poorly cut back last year by the gardeners from hell. ~.~
So pretty!
July 22
A male squash flower that will die a virgin
ZUCCHINI!!!!!!
Baby female flower
