Day at the office.

Well, for one thing ,
a lot of thinking is involved.

Rain ?

Scabiosa,
one way or another, pretty dramatic colours.
And yes we had some rain at last,
not quite enough, but a little 'dustsettler'.

Waiting for some rain.........

It's time for a little water from above , dry , dry , dry,

any way this Oenothera is pretty cute.

Summertime....

Bye, Bye , Christine super wwoofer

Yep, she's gone,
after daily pouring gallons of water on our plants and pulling out buckets of weeds , she left us for Halifax , well it was great while it lasted, but now I have to do it all by myself again ,sigh,
oh well , thanx Christine.

Half 6 - 8 - 6 , and going to market..........

Yesterday it was that market day again, twice a week now , the car was pretty full, and going home a little less , in the nursery you can't tell any plants have gone. Flowers by Jodi and a whole bucket of delicious , vitamin K rich , Spinach chard ( snij biet ).

6 - 8 - 6 :Still to do perennials and Acer / Phygelius , and club med.

July flowers again.....

Tithonia, or mexican sunflower, a very nice annual , 60cm tall and very bushy,

our big Callistemon always a show stopper,
or our coffee break station,
and then there was our water lily with kroos ( or pond scum for the less poetic amongst us ) ,
and Selma having a little song , just like Celine Dion we think.

Bye , bye , Bruce the Mighty.

A bit of a surprise , but Bruce the goose found a home already,
so this morning a final run with Selma , and now he's gone to a family in Shawnigan lake, well he is a nice guy, and Jodi was getting all soft over him , but Selma is happy again, doesn't like too much competition.

or ........... World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms , meet Christine our wwoofer, she is staying with us AND working her butt off in the nursery, she's wonderful, all in exchange for a bed and a couple of meals, what a deal !
At the moment we're starting at 7 a.m., because of the heat, and we're getting an awful lot done, plus the cuttings are well under way,though the heat is a little tough on them.
