The Babies

Thorn-less blackberry babies.  The bloom has begun.  The bees are busy about being bees.  This is the second year for these vines.  Last year most of their energy went into establishing good roots.  This year should be amazing for the vines and the fruits.

The Cucamelon seeds are sprouting.  They should be ready to plant in a few days.  Can’t wait to try them in July.

My favorite part about gardening and my favorite part about a lot of things, the sitting down after and thinking about what might happen because of what you’ve done.  I like swings just about any time.  My grandmother taught me about them.  Be Groovy! 🙂

  1. “the sitting down after and thinking about what might happen because of what you’ve done.” Very healthy to take the time to reflect upon the day’s actions. Nice boots!

  2. Goodness gracious green! Sublime! Just having a chance to look at all the Green Ones! And I know how good it is for a body to get up close and personal with The Mother. The peach trees definitely look to make a wonderful place to begin wedded bliss 🙂 This is my favorite time of year!

  3. Gardening is a remarkable talent and having a green thumb is a wonderful gift. My grandfather had it and it won him lots of friends and admirers and a prosperous business venture later in life. One of my uncles has a consultancy business with staff and it generates a huge profit. Inspiration is a wonderful thing. I wish you all the best with your garden. Athough, may I add that your lovely darling children are the most beautiful “fruit”, in my mind.

  4. (Should have said “Mistress Mary…” so as not to confuse you with Mary Queen of Scots, or Mary of “Peter, Paul & Mary”, or Mary who had a little lamb…

  5. Such lovely family portraits, Mary. The children are getting so big. I can tell how proud you are of them. Glad to see you found some time to do some pondering. Everyone needs a pondering swing!

    • No matter what else may be going on good or bad or whatever. Gardening is teaching me that most of the “stuff” will pass. I can’t wait for perfect weather to plant or curse the rain. If I do something even when its not convenient those seeds will sprout and grow and do most of the work without me. They will do “them” and will produce whether business is up or down or circumstances are hectic for me. And they will give me a place to go and work and ponder and see something that I did produce fruit.
