A Trip to Thie Farm

Fresh Eggplant?

Plants to satisfy any Green Thumb's wishes.

Need a red flyer wagon from this fleet to load all those goodies and plants? 

Chatting with this farm worker he instructed me, "If someone asks you if you want to dig sweet potatoes. Say no and walk away".

Nothing like some fresh cherries.

Well, maybe these ginormous blackberries would come close.

Thanks for sharing this experience with me, Sis!

Amaryllis Etching Artist Discovery

A happenstance today led me to discover that the artist of the Amaryllis etching previously blogged is Nancy Louvier. You can check out e-bay for more of her works. Amaryllis "Triad" is an original and much larger. My investment of 30.00 was a wise choice, but I'm not wanting to sell it. It has a nice home in my bedroom.

Delphinium Stars at Last

I have worked at growing delphinium more than once from seed to no avail. I gave up and purchased this fabulous delphinium start. It exceeds my expectations in vibrancy of color. Added with a little Russian Sage it's showcased even more.

The spiky Russian Sage set towards the back near the Spirea bush, Salvia on the left and Delphinium on the right are a very pleasing combination. It's going to be an array of feathery lavender and white blossoms next spring! I hope this encourages you to garden a little more....
