My high school friend, Eddie, brought us 6 bags of well composted horse manure.
Cuke
Corn
Beans
Scads of banana peppers (let me give you some!)We've found these peppers are great substitutes for Bell Peppers. In fact, we prefer them over Bell Peppers.
I love the sputnik look of the spent bloom of the Agapanthus
The emerging bloom of the Achmea Bromeliad

Name this flower
Hello!A favorite recipe. Mashed potatoes goes well with it.
Enjoy!
You are still trying to trick some famous horticulturalist into naming that unknown flower for you, aren't you? Well it's for sure not going to be me. . . . I haven't a clue!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn,
ReplyDeleteYour blooms are gorgeous! How have they escaped this dreadful heat?--Randy
My hardworking husband put a well down and proceeded to plumb this entire 1.9 acres with a sprinkling system...including the pots on the deck! He loves doing "water-works"!
ReplyDeleteTom, I gotta ask! Someone may come up with the name.
ReplyDeleteI just read your profile!!! OMG you are an inspiration! You have got a beautiful garden, and a strong spirit...thanks so much for linking up...I do hope you will join us again!

You are a real inspiration to all of us! I am just overwellmed by your story.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing woman to go through all that and survive! Thank God your brother stopped by to see you that day!
It is wonderful too that you reconnected with a friend and ended up with a wonderful husband! He awesome! How great it is that you both share the love of gardening!

The tour of the gardens yesterday was wonderful! It's even more amazing than these photos show. I hope that I can remember half of what Marilyn tried to teach me as we looked over the gardens!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind words of encouragment. I am, indeed, fortunate to have friends and family to help me continue to do the things I love!
