The mid July parade is happening. Rose of Sharon have started, tomatoes are getting yellow, garlic leaves are starting to turn brown.

Most exciting is that 14 Marjory Ave is for sale!

Seventeen years of wondering if that would ever happen. Room for a greenhouse? Shh don’t want to jinx it.

And we’re back in the garden!

For figs It is going be a year of hard pruning. Fruit has started to form and I have started to cut. Next up is to build the a shelter for them.

The green beans are fantastic. A large handful off each plant. I seem to be a bit behind in picking beans.

Hit almost the last days of Loblaws garden center. Haskap borealis/honeybee shrubs, Aka longicera caerulea, on sale. Bought two.

What else?

Raspberries trashed by squirrels and birds. Black eyed Susan’s and purple cone flowers starting. The crocosmia is in full bloom. Another bug on the apples. Really thinking I want to go with pears.

Gotta run. Dinner with Carole and Norm.

Beans on the menu! .
