GARDENING 2025

[Tony Page]

My Campion are in bloom, I took this photo this past Thursday.
My cousin gave me a few seedling about 40 years ago. They reseed themselves every year, and will tolerate sun or shade.

My wife and I got new phones this weekend. She found this old photo of one of her pickings.

Our garden is definitely behind most years' gardens. Usually we have ripe tomatoes by the first of June, but not this year. We are getting a few cucumbers though, and they add a lot to our fresh lettuce salads. The plants all look great, and we are even getting peppers to set on plants outside, which is rare here. We could pick a few green peppers if we chose, We usually like to let them get ripe, or near so before we pick them. We haven't seen moose recently and no hares yet this year. We have a good apple set, and we were out thinning yesterday. The snowshoe hares will get our beans if they get a chance, and it is hard to keep them out of the gardens.

I "misspoke". My wife found one ripe cherry tomato. We shared our first tomato harvest of the season.
