The Cala Lilies we ’re prompt to the fish pool last weekend , This heavy potty is big , as is this cultivar . If kept wet , it should continue to send up it ’s 6 foot stems all summertime . In the nightfall , it returns to the cold greenhouse .
Home grown lettuce and organic super acid are over-the-top This crimson lettuce is OK , but the real gem is the Lollo green head behind it . The seeds may cost about $ 2.00 each , but the cultivar is sovereign , and of a quality found in the finest New York restaurants . French Radishes are tasty , and although not very double-dyed , I allow I did n’t fuss with them this year . Still , they are constitutional , and delicious , even when over grown by a few weeks like these . My mother would make a Lithuanian soup with these greens , along with Sorrel , Pork or Duck Cracklin ’s , furious mushrooms and potato . One would think that garden web log spot in June could happen every minute , and they could . But as any skillful nurseryman knows , this is indeed , the eminent time of year for garden chores and project . Today , metre is precious enough with employment , family , guests and American Idol … oh yes , and blog poster ! . My apologies for not posting last week , I was crazy with a strep throat , out of work for a week , and still recovering , while catch up at the office and in the studio apartment . The garden chore are backed up , just planting tomato plants now , and help senior neighbour plant theirs . So off we go on this splendid Sunday . My college friend Jeannie is here from Hawaii via Minneapolis , which is like having family visit . Mostly , it means meter cooking seasonally together in the kitchen , and having more friends over . SO off for now , here are just some photo to hold you all of what ’s happening in the garden . There is SO much to report on , perhaps afterward tonight . Joe just ran up this morning into my office with a fistful of baby ducks , the incubator was a morsel noisy apparently , and we have new additions to the family line . Off to regain lightbulb and a box to keep them warm , and to keep Margaret away from them . play in the garden … .. I look as if the bees are swarming , but actually , we just opened the nettle rash to hold on dear productions , and the smoker forces the bees onto the front of the supers . Note our raw English hives on the left with atomic number 29 roof .
