With a busy day ahead, here is a shamefully rushed Six on Saturday. Do head over to The Propagator's blog to read more!
But here is my garden:
1.The rose arch. It is blooming! The rose has not quite covered it yet, but I really like how it is shaping up.
And best of all, the rose provides shelter to our new poults. Such a pretty little bower!
2. The daylilies are blooming. I wanted to try cooking some of the buds this year, but don't have the heart to
3. Monsoon project: I once had a clover lawn, and then I got chickens. So now, this is what the area in front of our house looks like, and I am fed up with it. Now, I will weed and till. Come monsoon, I will plant out thyme- the chickens don't seem to like that.
4. Harvest- the veggie harvest hasn't started yet, but we are harvesting seeds from the over-wintered plants. So here are coriander and mustard seeds for yummy tadkas.
5. Fuchsia. For two years I had this plant, and the chickens kept eating it. Last autumn I transferred it to a pot and look at it now!
I don't like all fuchsias, but this is rather elegant
6. My hydrangeas are about to bloom. I like them at this stage, and I like them when they are dry in all those subdued colours. The big bright balloons of full bloom? Not so much

That is one adorable photo with the chicks under the roses! I like that fuchsia too. Whenever anyone tells me I can eat the buds on this or that, I tell them I like the flowers! Especially daylilies, their season is too short already, without my eating them!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I feel about my flowers. Which is also why I have let yet another year go by without making a rose petal conserve. Oh well
ReplyDeleteLovely rose, and your chooks seem to agree. My hydrangea has teeny flower buds, first ones I've ever had on it. Fingers crossed...
