July In the Garden
Everything is growing SO fast! We are having a extra hot summer in Seattle (like above 75). So you see lots of dry grass and TALL tomatoe and bean plants. Yes, your eyes are seeing right, my beans and tomatoe plants are only inches below my garden deck.
There are carrots to thin and and unusual Chinese Radishes to eat in salads. They don't taste much like radishes; they are much more mild and they sure are colorful in a salad.
And yummy ripe raspberries to eat with our morning yogurt or to go in the afternoon Sangria!
Such great shots. I miss a garden..I used to can so much from the gardens we had back East. I guess I will just continue to live vicariously through you:) Thanks again for your kind words about my Face!
Love the raspberry photo. We have been eating them from our backyard as well. Somehow there are only 2-3 when I go back to get some...I wonder why my kids have red stains on their shirts? Lynn
We have had no rain either but of course our yard doesn't have such a great variety of flowers etc. as yours. I will say dad's lilies are just gorgeous right now. We hope to get someone to take a picture. Yum Yum those raspberries!1
My blog's title originated in July 2004 as I was preparing to send my then 16 year old daughter to Annecy, France as an exchange student. It was to be a 10 and 1/2 month separation that I was sure I could not endure. BUT, thanks to the internet and blogging I survived her adventures outside of our 'nest'. Once she returned, I thought of changing the title but realized that 10 and 1/2 Months was a fitting description of the cycle of my teaching life too. Now that I am retired the days and months have much less structure but the title remains out of nostalgia for my teaching days.

We can dream that one day we will have a garden as beautiful as yours!
