Here, take some flowers because tomorrow is Monday.
My hollyhocks in the backyard; this plant is about 5 year old. I should plant more of them. Once established, they are care-free and tough. But growing them from seeds is not easy...
#BloomScrolling #SundayFlowers #gardening

A close-up shot of three soft-pink hollyhock flowers. The petals are delicately crinkled. Flower centers are yellow, white, and light green.

Tackled some of our outdoor chores.
Moving dirt around to level some of the uneven surface around our new deck.
Summer helped harvest corn and beets.
Much of our garden was neglected between my husband's illness and our water crisis.
I feel fortunate we are harvesting anything.
Summer is happiest when she is helping.
My husband sat in a chair and cleaned some corn for dinner tonight.

Ears of corn from our garden are in a white bucket.
A dog is on the right side of the photo looking at the bucket.

Golden lab brings along an ear that we won't keep but needs to be brought back to the compost. She fetched all the ears that were left on the ground.

I did it. I finally used my hoard of photos to make a video celebrating a year of free gardening in a trailer park.

In love with these 'White cupcakes' cosmos in my garden this year

#3GoodThings

1. Fit 2 loads of laundry on the backyard clothesline; I am the ruler of linear space

2. Picked a tiny amount of chamomile flowers, less than for a cup of tea, but it's my first time successfully growing any

3. New neighbour texted for advice about making lavender oil, and I got to deliver a little care pack with the tail end of my last batch plus a zine about how to make her own 💜

Photograph of a bumblebee seen from behind, entering the center of a yellow nasturtium flower. Its hairy yellow and black body appears somewhat large in comparison to the flower. Conversely, its wings, folded against its back, seem too small for it! Surrounding it are green foliage variegated with white and other yellow and orange nasturtium flowers.

Photographie d'un bourdon vu de dos en train d'entrer dans le centre d'une fleur de capucine jaune, son corps poilu jaune et noir semblant un peu gros par rapport à la fleur. Ses ailes repliées sur son dos semblent à l'inverse trop petites pour lui! Autour, le feuillage vert panaché de blanc et d'autres fleurs de capucines jaunes et oranges.

#SilentSunday #flowers #bloomscrolling #gardening #peonies #photography

A close-up photograph of a peony flower, with pale lavender-pink outer petals surrounding a dense center of creamy petaloids—petals that are no longer large and round but made small and elongated by crossing. Three large, dark pink stamens are hidden through the pale center. Green leaves are blurred below and behind the flower, against a dark background.

Photographie en gros plan d'une fleur de pivoine, avec des pétales extérieurs rose légèrement lavande entourant un cœur dense de pétaloïdes crème, c'est-à-dire des pétales qui ne sont plus grands et ronds mais rendus petits et allongés par croisements. Trois grosses étamines rose foncé se dissimulent à travers le centre pâle. Des feuilles vertes sont floues dessous et derrière la fleur, avec un arrière-plan sombre.

Teeny tiny carrots! They're supposed to be golf ball sized, and I think I overcrowded them. Super fun for the kids to pull up and harvest!

Lang, schlank, gelbfleischig, festkochend, das ist die Kerkauer Kipfler. Leider bekomme ich sie nicht mehr als Pflanzgut. Könnte es sein, dass sie in Tschechien, Slowakei oder im Burgenland unter anderem Namen zu kaufen ist? Weiß das jemand? Sie ist lecker, leicht zu verarbeiten und wächst sehr gleichmäßig, mag sie lieber als die Ratte oder Bamberger Hörnchen.

#science #nature #gardening
Birmingham Botanical Gardens have been caring for a native plant of Mexico for the last ten years. It has been growing in their greenhouse which dates back to the 19th century. But now it has produced a flower spike so large that roof panels have had to be removed to allow the 18ft spike to poke out. This flower signifies the death of the plant, which only flowers once in its lifetime, giving the flower the name 'death bloom'. https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/plants-first-flower-is-death-bloom-so-tall-it-went-through-roof/

Unexpected garden guests this morning. They somehow jumped in and didn’t seem to know how to jump back out. It took some encouragement getting them through the garden gate. I left them by the bus stop to catch the 6:15 local back to the edge of town. 🦌

#gardening #wildlife #Colorado

Two large, brown mule deer with rather elegant antlers standing in my backyard at sunrise this morning looking very uncertain and anxious about being there. They are standing in dried grass among green garden plants, shrubs, and trees, with part of a brick apartment building in the background.
