- My garden has gone rather wild in the months that I’ve been absent. It reminds me of these words by Vita Sackville-West, the famous English gardener.
“Follow my steps, oh gardener, down these woods.
Luxuriate in this my startling jungle.”
- Vita Sackville-West, The Garden
This spring's abundant rain - combined with the richness of rotted leaf compost - has caused the kitchen garden to burst forth into growth and fruit.
Here's my 4th of July harvest. I unwittingly planted rows of white, green, and 'Boothby's Blonde' (a creamy yellow heirloom) cucumber next to each other. They're all interbreeding and giving me some crazy fruits. A few squash made their way into this colander, too.
A final shot of Queen Anne's Lace. It's the signal flower of midsummer in the country. An emblem of happy days in the sun...
