The second of winter; 2 June 2013

1/6/2013

Last of the beans…..

…ready for a spicy Guatemalan treatment

Sunflower tubers for dinner :-)

Ready for sorting in to ‘us’ and ‘birds’…. (did someone say cider?)

Garden gnomes getting bigger; and have learnt to sweep leaves ;-)

Seneca minding the chooks (apart from Roadrunner who is behind him)

Love my lay-dees; love their work….

Frankie in front; Aphrodite in frizzled black with white tracery

The new lay-dees. Still a little shy, and haven’t yet told me their names….

Winter Cheer announces the season

Next spring’s pretty compost accelerator

Art is Everywhere

Art is Everywhere – and – Spring is coming!…..

Food for foraging wildlife

Still smelling divine even after first snow ;-) I am delighted that thorns have roses…

Winter greens cometh. Garden smelling wonderfully of coffee much to disgust of brassica-loving slugs and snails…

Broad beans for spring

Rocket flowers preparing seeds for next spring salad

Asparagus berries, and pyrethrum flowers

Last of autumn narines keeping our darling Finn company under the kowhai

Hope the ‘frost hardy’ is true. Most of my lemon bushes sulk… However, this fruit shall be plucked on a dull day to cheer me up

Brushing past pineapple sage is aromatherapy

Mahonia flowers adding sun to dull day and preparing much needed berries for birds later in winter

Is all rather maudlin just now; winter, the dead Finn, pics of dear dead Bess tearfully added, and this reminder of dear dead friends Des and Ray – which is the Head that Knows (who committed a murder). Ray and I both consign this portentous object to the outdoors…..

Still some happy colour if you look….
