our reds and americanas are getting bigger but we still have a couple of months before we will enjoy their beautiful blue and brown eggs...
I started my ginger plant about a month or two ago and it is starting to push some sweet foliage up out the earth in a pretty red pot which I will bring in for the winter to ensure its survival since even here it isn't warm enough to take a winter...
some lemongrass that we freshly planted about 2 and a half months ago from the Asian market's produce department. I couldn't believe how quickly it rooted and we have already enjoyed a sprig or two of its goodness in our Thai wraps a couple of weeks ago....
we have a few types of grapes but I think my favourite will always be Concords due to my grandfather growing them and his delicious grape juice. We will hopefully get a few jars again this year. Sadly, we lost 2 vines from last year and we aren't sure why...
perennial artichokes that we will mulch well over the winter and hope for their return...
our few pineapple plants which I will bring in over the winter as well...
and of course
Scuppernongs, something I had never heard of growing up in Canada. They are huge globe shaped grapes specifically from the South with an apple-y flavour and they make amazing cider.
On another note, I apologize for not blogging as of late. It seems this time of year with 4 children at home, the gardens, hens and prepping for ICP along with numerous other common chores and time-fillers, we haven't been snapping photos as much and blogging has gone to the side. I really hope to change that.
Hoping our fellow blogging friends are all doing well.
I hope to take a peek at your posts today!
Wishing you warmth and goodness!
Love,
