nature’s promise

Julie (little Cotton Rabbits)

There’s a sense of expectation in our little garden. A ripening, quickening sort of a feeling.

Everything is green and lush after the deluge of recent rain and there are little fat buds, swelling fruits and new shoots all ready to do their thing!

Amy and I planted some strawberries and tomatoes back in spring and it looks like we’ll have a few fruits of our labour, though it will be just a few – only 2 tomatoes so far!

Proof I suppose that I have woolly fingers as opposed to green ones!

Enjoy your weekend!

  8. Ah Julie, you make me :)! Woolly fingers instead of green ones lol! I too have not been blessed with a green thumb. But thankfully my hubby has 🙂

  9. I spy grapes ~ how wonderful to have your own vines! I’ve just been catching up with some of your posts Julie ~ such a lot seems to have been happening since I last dropped by.
    I hope that you are enjoying your summer. Wishing you sunshine and smiles.

  10. This seems a bit odd to me. I just posted our pictures of the recent snow fall! I am looking forward to my agapanthus having buds worth photographing on them! I hope you enjoy the warmth and the sunshine. Jen

  11. Wow grapes – I’ve just planted our first grape vine earlier this year – with the idea of growing the plant for the leaves to make Dolmades. If we eventually get grapes, too this would be a bonus.

  12. I planted four different kinds of tommy’s last summer and we had a good crop too, they smell wonderful when coming from your own garden.
    Love the agaphanthus too, are your’s white or purple?

  16. Good luck with the strawbs and toms – there’s nothing better than picking a fresh ripe strawberry that’s been warmed in the sunshine – thats if my boy doesn’t get to them first!
