Some friends have a truly spectacular backyard. Their flowers are extraordinary, and that’s just the one border. But even at that special place, several smoky days ago, the hazy air was an unwelcome visitor.
Haze from wildfires in the Pacific Northwest

We went camping. Even though the air was hazy with wildfire smoke, it was still beautiful out there.

The air was awful in Seattle this week, due to wildfires in British Columbia and in Washington. This was the worst I’ve ever seen or felt it.

A friend gave me a magnificent bouquet of Peruvian lilies, or alstroemeria. Each flower was at least 2″ or even 3″ wide (5-8 cm). I’ve never seen such an array of rainbow colors in this flower. See a close up in this post below.
Almost perfect cut flower (sadly no fragrance), Peruvian lilies make such a fine bouquet

Homegrown peaches may be fuzzy, but the ineffable sweet perfume of them…
I think this is a Frost peach tree. It doesn’t get leaf curl and is producing sweet peaches in Seattle

I fertilized my tomatoes a bit better this year, and they show it. Sweet Sungold cherry tomatoes, with Early Girls and some San Marzano romas. I love the little green hats they wear that show how very fresh they are.
Red and orange tomatoes in my backyard harvest at the beginning of August. A warm summer in Seattle!
