this day in the patch

My lettuce is on a mission - global domination. This is Royal Oakleaf, an heirloom lettuce. I bought the seeds from Green Harvest and they really are a winner.


I have also planted a wormwood and it has really shot up this summer after a slow winter start



And my coloured chard is also a picture in the late afternoon sun......

open sesame....

My wonderful gardener came in and pruned the peach tree. It is a beautiful pink blossom in spring and because I love it so much, I have let it get a bit out of control. This meant there was too much shade on the patch and also over the fence on the neighbour's yard.... so it was pruned.

a smaller peach tree than before......
Now there is light.......



see my little sunflower..... she finally sees the sun!
