Rose and lavender garden

I have a rose garden in front of my house. A few of the roses didn’t do too well so I replaced them with lavender. I’m very happy with the combination.

Dark cherries macro

Dark red cherries of some kind on my backyard 5-graft tree, right before I picked them. I lost the tags, so don’t know the exact name. But they are delicious! I really love this image and I am calling it my weekly Saturday Top Shot.

Burgundy daylily

Of course lots of watering needed with this heatwave in Seattle (locals get crazy if it’s over 80 or so) and the water droplets on the dark daylilies only add to the beauty.

Potato bin

I’ve been growing potatoes in a different way, and it is looking like my best potatoes ever. My friend told me how to do it and let me collect bags of dried leaves from under her trees to use. I started with a layer of good dirt and fertilizer (about 6″), put the potatoes just under the surface, watered well, and as they grew kept adding dried leaves, letting some green tops stay uncovered, keeping it well watered, adding more leaves as I could. This bin was started at the very end of April, and look at it today! Below are the flowers from the red potatoes.

Thinking about going camping. This was taken awhile back on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.
