Stroll paths edged...
Stroll paths edged with basil and thyme, and coneflowers purple and pink. See the blue aster, cosmo and dill, and butterflies dipping to drink. Meander the rows of jostling corn and okra in large, buttery bloom. Breathe air mingled with mint and lupine, and lavender scented perfume. Sit for awhile at the centering stone - quiet yourself and unwind. There you’ll see the lacy nasturtium into the pole bean entwined. Then maybe we can chat awhile, share a cup of tea, and trade some notes on the critter you saw or the cucumber beetle’s spree!
This is exciting! Can't wait to read about your gardening tips and see your garden photos!
ReplyDeleteHow do I know when it's time to harvest russet potatoes?
ReplyDeleteHello Lee,
ReplyDeletePotatoes in general can be harvested when the leaves begin to yellow or when the plants die back in the late summer or autumn. However, you can harvest "new" or baby potatoes much earlier if you want. Just dig into the ground and look for the delectable treasures, being careful to avoid tearing the root systems of the plants if you want other potatoes to continue to grow.
