  1. I always enjoy your posts so much!!

    That is a great idea to use the corn stalks as a trellis.

    I have a 5 petal pink blossom
    under Tickled Pink to try and
    id. It has a yellow center.

    I cooked a bull thistle bud
    just to see if it taste like
    artichokes. There wasn't much
    of nothing inside to eat, Just
    a lot of fluff. So I didn't
    taste it, but it smelled like
    an articoke. Have you had them
    before? I found a blog that is
    in drafts at the moment that
    posted about eating thistle
    stalks. I'll take it out of
    draft as soon as I get a photo
    for it.

    God Bless You and Yours!!!

  2. PS. The water from boiling
    that Bull Thistle turned a
    nice bright green. I wonder
    if one could drink it. Do
    you know?

  3. Beautiful garden and harvest. I haven't seen any bees around here... just mosquitos. No garden this year. I will get to enjoy your garden!

  5. Lovely, Lovely, as always JoyceAnn! I just came in from watering everything...got a bit of Swiss Chard picked and a few more beans. My cukes are still a no go. It is just too hot to be out trying to do anything. Fortunately we had a bit of reprieve over night and it cooled down enough for me to go out early this morning and give everything a good water. Good news is I have another beautiful fuschia pink lily in bloom...it is just gorgeous!
    So that is my blessing for today...crops and flowers and a nod from God. :)
    Enjoy your day Dear One!
    xoxo

  6. Lovely garden - I've been enjoying the birds and the sunshine - we are finally done with every other day of rain - little boys playing in the yard and soft breezes. Thanks for the wonderful post.
