OK, so you know one of my favorite projects since we got the house is our garden, well it's been a great success, without toooooo much work and worry.
I had a bunch of trial plants and veggies that I watched sprout indoors, and then planted in our new garden patch. Well most everything grew (I say most because not a single carrot showed up for the party!), such as this beautiful crazy plant... my bean stalk !
But without a doubt, the big winner this year was the tomato. Our 3 plants (not from seed, but from small store bought stems) bloomed into huge leafy creatures that displayed hundreds (yes HUNDREDS) of tomatoes. Dozens and dozens of big beafy garden tomatoes and even more of the cute cherry variety. Here's a sample of some ripening on the vine.... so yummy.
Here, the weather has dropped quite a bit, especially at night, so it's time to plant the lilies and the bulbs that will flower next spring. I'm so eager to see the beautiful crocus flower, one of the earliest to bloom in spring, and many varieties of tulips should (if everything works out right) see the light in late spring and early summer. I even snuck in a few Narcissus... Should be grand !
And to polish everything off, Mr. Fox installed some lattice trellis under the front porch and around the front of the house.
I like ! do you ?
More work to do, to prepare the house for the cold season, but with all the hard work we're doing, we should be nice and cozy...
