Well, it seems that all of mama’s plants, which have been here for some time, but were, let us say, teen-agers, have had a growth spurt at the end of this hot and heady summer and become adults!
I check out things daily, making sure the arugula (whatever that is) doesn’t take over and the oregano isn’t spreading into the plot for the broad beans (not yet planted—waiting for the new moon) and the little cherry tomatoes may give us another crop yet. But it’s the kiwis that are really grown up this year.
The arugula supply (all that green stuff) is enough for most of our little ville! It’s a strong anti-oxidant, mama tells me so my nip is probably one, too, haha. Hey, they’re both green, right?
The sage, rosemary and oregano are in full swing.
As for these babies…er…adolescents…mama thinks they look pathetic at summer’s end, but at least we’ll have one more sauce before she rips them out!
But hey, you know what part of the garden I love—where NOTHING GROWS! Roll ‘em, roll ‘em, roll ‘em…
How cool that you can grow kiwis!
Well, it’s our garden guru’s kiwi vine that took over our fence and so we benefit, too.
Wow, Loulou your mama’s garden is looking gorgeous!
Oh, thank you from her…maybe it was my … fertilizer….
Oh my. Mama had too many spritzes last night – her typos are wild!!!!
Oooh – I’ll help yyou our mama rip those pesky tomatoes out, LOL!! But we’re in Italy – I knew something was up when the suitcases were in the hall. But the trip went great since THIS time we didn’t get lost in Genoa! Pietrasanta in 3-1/2 hours. And they spoiled me as always at Il Gator Nero – and last night Papa had ice cream and I had Crema di Pluto!! Dog ice cream. YUMMM. So, not so bad, these trips!
CREMA di PLUTO????? What a luxurious life you lead, Mya!
Glad you get to roll in the dirt. My cats are jealous. Sometimes Joanie tried to roll in my pile of litter/dirt from sweeping.
Oh, boy, I’ll bet that makes you happy, Ellen! If only Joanie could dust with her pelt!
Wow LouLou – that is amazing ! We are hearing 90 F for later this week – in NE Ohio in October !
Oh, I wish we were. I love the heat and summer.
I’m glad you’re keeping tabs on those growing things!
Yes, well, I help “water’….
