Anne’s Garden
God made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done.Archive for Wish List
A lonely hibiscus …
“But now in September the garden has cooled, and with it my possessiveness. The sun warms my back instead of beating on my head … The harvest has dwindled, and I have grown apart from the intense midsummer relationship that brought it on.”
- Robert Finch
I’m kind of feeling the same way today, after spending a few hours harvesting the last of my potatoes (half of which were dinner), along with several pounds of runner beans and my onions. I figured out what my mystery plant is. I dug them up and it appears this is garlic so I am going to save and plant them.
I’ve decided that I want a Ginkgo tree. I was given a seedling this spring but I lost it so I’ll be on the lookout for more seeds soon. I don’t know where I’m going to put it mind you. Mom, do you think it would fit where that dying Maple is?
