Remember back in February when my sweet husband gave me these? Well, it's a whole six months later (to the day), and not only are they still alive, but last night I spied THIS:
*siren noise* We have a bloom, people! We have a bloom! *end siren noise*
And speaking of lovely gifted blooms, please share my joy in this gorgeous specimen...
... given to us by a very very dear couple.
And while we're still on the subjects of flowers, this showpiece is from a rose bush that I thought, last year, was dead!
It just needed some really hard pruning and it rewarded us with exquisite roses.
This one speaks for itself. I don't know what it is, but every year they grow up and every year I'm astounded by the brilliance of color.
And then there's these monsters...
... twelve to fourteen feet tall, and ablaze with golden glory.
The zucchini plants are thriving and, happily, are supplying us with just enough courgettes to meet demand. Four plants were the perfect amount for our little family.
And the tomatoes...
... are juicy and flavorful. They're not my favorite tasty heirloom varieties, but they didn't succumb to any of the viruses that have plagued my previous attempts, either. How does the old saying go? A hybrid tomato in the hand is worth two heirlooms in the Verticillium Wilt bush. Or something like that.
And finally, on the subject of bushes...
Will you take a look at that basil? There's enough there for pesto every night of the week for the next three winters.
We are so blessed with beauty.
