Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadows, vine ripened

 




Shadow Shot Sunday 2 occurs as our potted garden fruit is ripening nicely. However, about three weeks ago as the vegetables began their growth, Patti  captured shadows were falling over the potted treasures and seemed perfect for this post. The tomatoes today are red, fresh and tasty. 

The spicy jalapeño, actually green, has not been harvested yet - time to purchase a lime to create a homemade salsa. Anyone bringing the chips?

Ruby Tuesday Too - Garden Delights

Ruby Tuesday Too is a meme allows us to focus on ruby delights. And in August (up north), nothing compares to home grown tomatoes in our potted garden. Like these - they sit on the counter as they have fallen on the ground and the red ones are 95% ripe. They will wind up in a tomato, mozzarella and basil salad this weekend. The views are with and without a flash and either way the ruby glow attracts us to the sweet summer fruit!

Tina's Pic Story - January Flowers

Tina hosts the fun Pic Story - she provides the weekly theme, which this week is Flowers...we provide the views. Of course it is winter today with snow covering the small flower garden next to the driveway. Of course, I don't know what varietal these perennials actually are, However, in the warmer and sunnier days in May, these will be as nice in person as in the photo!

Tina's WW - Awaiting Spring...

Tina's Pic Story - Garden

Old-fashioned garden, Shelton Connecticut

Wilson Barn and garden

Tina's Pic Story returns - simply. we provide the pictures to match the weekly theme she kindly provides, which this week is In the Garden

We are used to perfectly manicured gardens, lots of flowers arranged maybe by a landscape architect or designer with nary a stem out of place - these days anyway.

Here, I am showcasing a garden of the 19th century at the Shelton (Connecticut) Historical Society. In front of the Wilson Barn, a garden grows of herbs I believe. Not stylish and full of color as a garden may be, but all arranged in rows. I like this old idea for a garden as it grows naturally as it always has. A classic garden in any era!

Tina's Pic Story arrives this week, and she has given us our assignment, offer pictures to match the theme, which is the letter 'G'. Given that, how about gardens? And better yet, how about in Paris?

Garden 4...par Patti

Patti and Allegra have been to Paris twice, and on the second trip in the early spring of 2005, the blooms were beginning. Patti is not sure where these gardens were in the City of Light - no matter, the flowers are beautiful - and the theme has been met!
