Tomatoes & Peppers - Getting Ready to be Planted

So my tomato & pepper plants are getting pretty big now. They have gone to market for a few weeks, and getting ready to go in the ground.

Sadly, there is frost warning for tonight- June 2nd!!! so they are going to have to wait a little longer . . . .

Here they are chilling on my front porch for now.

Columbine

i started these columbine beautiful plants from seed two years ago.

Last year they didn't do much, but this year they bloomed in their full multi-coloured glory.

i will have these seeds available for sale next spring.



the pollinators love them too. here is a little bee bum poking out of the purple flowers

Blue Tomato Window Display

Conartist & I put our plants & domestic wares on display in the blue tomato window. this fabulous local art shop has been home to our art for a few weeks. i love this photo. if you look closely you can see conboy taking it, & both of us in the window reflecction . . .

this is still a few weeks to go by and check it out if you haven't see it yet. buy some art from some of our many wonderful local artist while you are there . . . .

future flower seeds

Here are some recent photos from my flower garden. Over the past four years of living at this house, I have gradually turned a lot lawn into garden.

you can see the newest section that i just dug up here . . . . my whole front yard is almost gone. the rest has turned out to be a beautiful perennial garden.

this garden is where i collect all a good portion of my flower seeds from . . . . i also tend to collect a lot of pictures. i will post them all as the season progresses.


this is my favourite place to sit & watch my garden grow . . .

this lilac bush was transplanted a little twig two years ago . . . now it is flowering for the first time!!
