Time in My Garden

It's so good to spend time at home! We continue to enjoy the wonderful outdoor space around our house. I was able to work in my garden all morning. I'm trying to grow cilantro and swiss chard even in this heat.....so I made some shade. I've decided to train the Maracuya plant to grow over the cilantro and shade it. And I made a cloth shade for the swiss chard. (Remember Filomena's shade cloth? It's the most "quilt-like" sewing I've ever done :)





Micah was in the garden too. Here he is sitting by the onions and basil.


Our strawberry plant has a few berries again. We'll see who gets to eat them this time, us or the grasshoppers.



Tomatoes, a bit of dill, and nasturshims. The yellow plastic has oil on it to attrackt white flies. Some things ARE growing. I reflected AGAIN on how much work, time, and water goes into growing food. And give thanks for those who are doing it. And pray that true organic gardens can flourish.
