Garden June/July 2010

Here are some shots from around the garden:

Lazy day!


Clematis. Last year they were solid orchid, this year they have developed the darker bars in the middle of the flowers.


Onions: red, and sweet (granex-type).


Peas ~ in the beginning.


Peas ~ now. They're about done, they prefer cooler weather.


Gypsy peppers.


Bell peppers.


Rainbow mix peppers ~ these are turning dark purple.


Digging for 'taters.


Happy okra ~ it loves the heat!


I have a helper that prefers more to play in the dirt than actually help in the garden...


Cherry tomatoes. We have an affliction at this house: no cherry tomatoes have yet to make it inside the house. My children tend to eat them immediately.


Chicory patch. Eat the young leaves in a salad. You can also dig the root, chop into small pieces, roast it in your oven, and grind it up to add to your coffee. Num, tastes like New Orleans.


Chicory typically has lovely blue flowers, like someone took a daisy and squared off the ends of the petals.


A few early potatoes and young turnips.
