Hey, June – so happy you’re here. When these photos were taken, just a couple days ago, I wondered if you’d ever make it.
It’s June 3, and we are experiencing our first hot day of the year. Even the breeze is warm. It’s been a peculiar year, with lots and lots of rain and unseasonably cool weather. I know we aren’t alone in that. The garden has been slow to really get growing and some things got such a poor start I may replant. There are still starts waiting to be be put in the ground. They are so ready! I think this is their week. I have found myself a little frustrated at times, but mostly I’m enjoying the process of learning. We have SO much to learn, and the plants themselves are amazing teachers.
We keep on planting, propagating, transplanting, harvesting, digging, planning, digging and planning. This space we are creating is still new to us in many ways, but bit by bit, it is taking on a new shape. We have really been enjoying all the hard labor, and as we make our way around the different parts of yard, we develop a closer and closer relationship with the land we live on. It’s exciting.
We’ve had quite a great number of warm days, but I do feel the wind and evenings are getting warmer as well.
I wish you much luck with the gardening. I’m sure things will grow well.
I’m happy for you !
you seem to be busy like a bee in the yard :) your photos of all these greens are such a delight to view !
Do I spot some mint ? some glasses of mint tea to be advised maybe ?!
unlike your area, we have being having an unusually dry & sunny weather. I know it is not good for agriculture, but it has made a signifivant difference on my health (less asthma) so I’m enjoying each & everyday of it !
Have fun in the garden & a healthy growth to your babies :) xo
