the garden tour...

a tour around the house...
there are really just a few corners and i try to get plants in around my house, though it's shady in many places, some growth is here and that brings me joy. the leek has not been growing well, the slugs have liked it and some of it i harvested and we have eaten it. one i left there, standing tall and i'm looking forward for it to open up in full bloom!

i love raspberries and have now  some in the front of the house as well as in the back, i wish their foliage would be stronger, though the berries ripen quickly and not just we people like them, but i have the observed how the chickens have become courmee's!

the little daisy like flowers are lovely and do well, wonderful yellow and white dots on a couple corners are so refreshing. in the front beet there have been some striving succulent of the type hen and chickens. some how i didn't catch one particular plant which is in full bloom...

and once more i try basil in my straw-bale garden. o those slugs! i'm hunting them.... maybe the basil will survive and strive, i'm still in hope.

We had raspberry bushes in our garden when I was a child. We would pick them by the handful. They were so delicious!! They are so expensive at the market. Wish we still had those bushes. : )
