It’s practically the top of one more month and, as it’s just a few days till Christmas, I simply wish to want everybody a really blissful and blessed Christmas and I hope that 2023 brings you a lot pleasure and good well being.
I’m making an attempt to get into the behavior of writing down in a pocket book the place I hold my gardening notes what vegetation are flowering in a specific month as I neglect simply.
Presently the Hollyhocks are nonetheless flowering and this 12 months we’ve got a number of completely different colors however the crimson is basically essentially the most beautiful. Behind the crimson plant is a purple one which has flowered for the primary time this 12 months and is sort of fairly…
…however the seeds are being eaten by these pesky bugs.
The pink flowers are a tad insipid as compared….
…though there are a number of variations….
….and folks going by nonetheless touch upon them as they’re so tall…
….it is a paler model of the crimson flower…
…and this one has a mauve tinge.
A good friend gave me this yellow Lily and I even have a purple one…
…and for the primary time I’ve planted Zinnias as somebody introduced some seeds alongside to the seed swap at our easy dwelling group earlier than we closed it down in September. They’ve such vibrant colors. Additionally the Day Lilies are flowering in addition to the Dahlias and add some color to the backyard.
Effectively, that is it for my gardening notes. I even have veggies rising however one thing is consuming the leaves on the bean vegetation so I’m not blissful. Generally I believe it’s simply simpler to purchase the veggies from the farmers’ market as it’s all a little bit of trial and error. There is no such thing as a lack of fruit and greens in our space fortunately.
I hope you might be surrounded by family and friends this Christmas though I do know that for many individuals it’s a unhappy and lonely time.
