Come See What's Growing on the Homestead // August 23 ~ 2018

Let's Paint Some Happy Little Trees...
-Bob Ross

This is certainly my favourite part of the garden...

I look for any excuse to come visit, even weeding.

Some Fruits!

I've picked a lot of zucchini, so I don't have many photos of that until the next batch grows. I made sure to share with @marionbowes, as she just loves the stuff. The one above is a Golden Zucchini.

Bushels and bushels of beans still (and no I don't know how much a bushel is, but it just sounds so great).

Peppers coming along nicely in the hothouse.

Tomatoes! They're going really good now, eating them every day.

And more tomatoes...

Some Wild Stuff

We have 11 apple trees here, most are crab apple. I like the crab apples though! I use them in crisps/cobblers and for apple cider vinegar. Plus, omg...the blossoms in the spring are to die for.

Above is chokeberry I believe...definitely correct me if I'm wrong.

Flower Time! Yellow Hath Taken Over

Remember how red it was in the spring?

I just love watching beauty unfold through the year, one eye feast merging into the next...

A lot of the green foliage you see here are yet-to-bloom cosmos. Shit is about to get even realer during the next unfolding of my front ~~lawn~~ bee and butterfly food heaven. We're going to transition from yellow, to a white, pink and purple fiesta.

Some cosmos have begun to bloom.

I won't get too far ahead of myself though, it's time to enjoy the yellow season.

Sunflowers with some kind of thornless thistle in the background.

Black Eyed Susan

I'll end with this awesomeness...

lyndsaybowes (71) · 6 years ago

That's so sweet of you to say Natalia, perhaps because I only have a small garden I don't complain. We will see what happens when I finally have the farm I dream of...

There may be complaints lol!!

Your garden keeps amazing me! I would say it is red currant but the leaves are completely different so you may be right. I have however never heard about chokeberry :)

I LOVE your wild flower meadow! Stunning! I wish to have it too!

Thank you for sharing your garden again. And please keep sharing it! :)

dexterdev (62) · 6 years ago

Lovely! This was a treat to the eyes. The leaves of the cannabis plant are so beautiful. And of course other plants and their flowers everything :)

jonyoudyer (64) · 6 years ago

Well it looks like your doing a heck of a job!! I’m still trying to get the hang of outdoors. I wish I had an ideal spot to do so. But it’s fun, and I’m blessed to be able to do indoors. Indoor is great, but nothing compares to the real sun. Certain terpenes cannot be produced with artificial light.

lyndsaybowes (71) · 6 years ago

See I'm learning already,

Certain terpenes cannot be produced with artificial light.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't even know what terpenes were 5 minutes ago :) :) :)

ambiguity (62) · 6 years ago

I had some tomatoes, garlic, a variety of peppers and potatoes this year. It was the first plant on the land and I was just trying to get the soil setup for growing. It is acidic here and I have some work to do before the next attempt.

pwny (57) · 6 years ago

So many green things everywhere!

kiwiscanfly (78) · 6 years ago

your favorite part of the garden would be mine as well

can i come and stay for a while?

Hiii @lindsaybowes wonderful activity of homesteading you shared. Lol

lyndsaybowes (71) · 6 years ago

Thank you very much @rabeel, and I think I know why you LOL'd :)

madushanka (74) · 6 years ago

@lyndsaybowes, Wow...that's glad to see your fabulous growing harvests. Better to using vegetables from gardens. It's better than buying vegetables & fruits food cities. Tomatoes, chilies, apples and chokeberries seemed awesome. Cool scenery indeed.

lyndsaybowes (71) · 6 years ago

Thank you @madushanka, one day I dream of having a lot of farm land, to grow so much food we have enough to last the winter, and to share with people in our community.

franciscana23 (65) · 6 years ago

Felicitaciones @lyndsaybowes por la gran variedad no solo de frutas y verduras que tienes en tu jardin sino de flores más esos hermosos Girasoles. Los Tomates pequeños se ven espectaculares. Saludos y cuida ese Jardin tan especial

lyndsaybowes (71) · 6 years ago

Estoy tan contenta de que hayas disfrutado de la gira de mi jardín. ¡ voy a hacer salsa pronto!
