Rowan Family Tree

Late Summer Garden

Aug. 15th | Posted by 3 comments

Last time I showed pictures of my garden, it was for my friend L in Calgary. But this time is for a very nice Iranian gramma, whose baking I had the pleasure to sample (and SO enjoyed!)

We’re in full harvest mode, as you can see… there are veggies every day and we give a lot to our neighbours and friends.

The veggie garden going nuts. Behind you can see some blackberry brambles are producing too.

Our apple and pear trees don't have much fruit this year.  Well, the other apple did but the branches were torn off in a storm.

The girls playing in their splash pool by the peach tree. Later the same day, one branch broke off from the weight of the peaches.

And here are the peaches form one branch, all trying to sun rypen.

The side garden - not bad for a first year. The thyme I've had to add to, since Laughlin often runs over it.

But the perennials seem to be doing well, especially the back-eyed susans and the hollyhocks.

    Wow ! wonderful garden. I hope we can have the space to have a peach tree.

    Peach trees are the bigger ones, that’s for sure. But they make good play trees!

    Beautiful garden my friend! Makes mine look so small… Love all those peaches. Have you tried the BBQ peaches recipe? You gotta have vanilla ice cream to complement. Happy harvesting to you and your family!
