Afternoon in the Garden

 I have always said that June is my quiet time in the garden.  All I do is weed, water and wait.  That routine is extending well into July tis year.  No complaints... but things are a little delayed.  I trim a few things.  Sit for awhile.  Fertilize something.  Go back and sit....  


Food is coming out at a good pace.  There are zucchini and onions and green bell peppers.   There is always Cole Slaw in the refrigerator. I am accumulating pickling cucumbers to make the first batch of pickles.  There are a handful of green beans ready to eat.

Daylily of the Day are these white lilies.  Either these are the deer's absolute favorite, or their bloom time coincides with my desire to fight about it running out.  I dug a big clump of them out and liberated it to the edge of the field after the deer ate every bloom and bud during a rainstorm.... through the netting.  I'm going to replace it with a rock.
