Tomato Season- At Last

After months of talking to people about seeds & seedlings.

and months more of tending to my plants

the harvest has come.

tomatoes once again, as always capture my eyes with there beauty

they beg to be photographed all over my house

Its the most wonderful time of the year . . .

Time to Start Collecting Flower Seeds

Now is the time to start collecting seeds from many of the plants that flowered early in your garden. I showed you pictures of my columbine plants back in may . . . .


now they are going to seed. you can tell this because the flowers have died off, and their pods are starting to brown.


the seeds inside will be dark black when they are ready.


although i don't have any photos yet, keep your eyes on your lupins & poppies. they should be ready now too!!
