Heck, I get excited at the first cucumber and tomato every year. You've been busy, busy out there in the yard. Isn't it nice to have time for it all?

He really like to grow things.<br /><br />Your peonies are just GORGEOUS!! I'm determined to plant some next year, as I have seen so many beauties on the various blogs this year. It's neat to see your Gertrude Jekyll rose -- don't you love the fragrance? I enjoy ours so very much!<br /><br />When is your family reunion scheduled? Good luck in getting everything ready; that's quite a job, but I know everyone will have a wonderful time! Enjoy your weekend. :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-tip-for-cleaning-windows-and-glass.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-19838426880360071532014-06-19T00:19:05.628-06:002014-06-19T00:19:05.628-06:00It is nice to see a beautiful garden with wonderfu...It is nice to see a beautiful garden with wonderful flowers!

Our neighbour did, though, along our shared fence. She says we can have whatever grows on our side. So for the last couple of summers we've enjoyed juicy Concords. I made grape juice concentrate last year and it was so good in the winter. Our neighbour doesn't care for her vines at all, yet they keep producing (her late husband planted the vine about 6 years ago.) I clip back our portion in the fall, but other than that they take care of themselves.

Kelli has a barn and three horse board there, so we get to see their pretty faces on a regular basis. <br />Your land, your work, is gorgeous. So vast! I can barely keep up (ha!) with my little earth. <br />I am having a quieter day today, looking at my books, papers, pens and pencils, and feeling blessed.<br />Have a wonderful weekend!Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-11854516347268236292014-06-12T14:40:38.239-06:002014-06-12T14:40:38.239-06:00This was a nice tour around your yard where all ki...This was a nice tour around your yard where all kind of things happen. It is indeed so exciting to discover the first grapes in years. Best time for pruning grapes is in December when the sap flow in the vines has stopped. <br />You have some lovely roses of which I have Gertrude Jekyll and Tess of d'Urbervilles. I bought Tess because I read Thomas Hardy's book. Fortunately the rose is very nice too. <br />We have more in common: Lovely little treasures in your cupboard where I see exactly the same swan which I also found in a thrift store in our neighbourhood.<br />I see your garden keeps you busy too but it's nice to see the horses grazing comfortably in their meadow when you are out in the garden.Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6460244051990142578.post-18543608691985237862014-06-12T00:26:55.225-06:002014-06-12T00:26:55.225-06:00Heavens to Betsy Ann what a lot you have going on ...Heavens to Betsy Ann what a lot you have going on in your garden - such a lot to talk about. Considering how bare everything looked a few weeks ago, everything seems to be going bananas in your garden right now. I am loving all your lovely roses - I have Gertrude Jekyll too I love her fragrance. Your peonies are absolutely gorgeous - I really must try to find room for some more I only have one dark red one - the pink ones are beautiful and look lovely in your posy on your china cabinet with all your lovely trinkets.<br /><br />That picture of the clematis bloom is my favourite I like the composition with the blurry background - excellent. It looks like you have a big job on your hands clearing that overgrown patch - mother nature does take advantage when you leave something alone for a while and vinca is so hard to get rid off - things just want to grow.<br /><br />Your horses are looking in fine fettle in that sunny picture such a peaceful scene. Enjoy the rest of the week and don't work too hard.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.com
