Nothing much going on here. Work. Make supper. Clean up. Do laundry. Clean the bathroom. I have a good book to read. My foot is better some days than others but overall, the direction is positive. I have more shockwave therapy tomorrow.
We've had snow again this week, but just gentle flakes and nothing stayed. This morning it's sunny and warm. My tomatoes are sitting in my new greenhouse, enjoying the sunshine and stretching up towards the sun as they do their thing. I have zinnia, lupin and pumpkin seeds growing now as well. My frittilaria is up and blooming. The allium are doing well and the tulips are almost ready to bloom. We have such a short season but the plants persevere. Maybe that's why I love them so much.
It's as if your growing season is turbo charged to make up for the shorter season. I am always amazed at how fast your plants grow.
ReplyDeleteWe also have very long days, 15 hours of daylight in June. You gotta make hay while the sun shines:)
DeleteHow beautiful is your garden, how blue your sky. I'm glad to hear your foot is steadily healing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure other places have the same blue sky, but to me it says Alberta and home. The foot is improving thank goodness.
DeleteI like your little greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteThanks, me too.
DeleteI love the greenhouse! My tulips are mostly finished but they had a great run. The cooler weather helped with that. Give me boring routine any day over excitement, which in my life, is usually negative.
ReplyDeleteExcitement does tend to be negative, doesn't it? I'm still waiting on my tulips. I'm not patient.
DeleteI have two of those little greenhouses plus a larger one but they kept getting hammered by the wind. I'm debating putting the bigger one on my balcony, which is a suntrap and sheltered. Gotta think about that as my "homemade" greenhouse is getting taken down tomorrow (if it doesn't take itself down overnight). DIY is not my forte!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't see it doing well with wind.
DeleteWhat a lovely little greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteOnly one problem, I've filled it up already:)
DeleteI love the green house. That is a really cool design. Glad the foot is better.
ReplyDeleteI just looked up extracorporeal shockwave in our area. Medicare, of course, does not cover it, and most of the google results are for its use in treating erectile disfunction. Also.... it's $500 a treatment. I was thinking about trying it on my pesky left foot, but maybe not.
DeleteIt costs $110 a treatment and my blue cross covers half of it. I can't imagine $500 and I can't imagine it on a penis. It's painful!
DeleteGeez everyone else is enamoured of your greenhouse. I'm dazzled by your deck! Lucky girl. -Kate
ReplyDeleteA dazzling deck. I never thought of it like that but we do love our deck. It faces east and gets lots of sun but when it gets hot in the afternoon, it's in the shade. I bought more plants today, for my pots. I can't wait!
DeleteThat sign. The mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the "Contents hot" on a coffee cup.
DeleteThat flower picture is astonishing!
ReplyDeleteIf you are not allowed to poop amidst the rocks, where are you meant to poop? When you need to poop you have to go! On old wooden ships, they often had a poop deck.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful flower. We're in the 80's here, and I love that.
