It was time to clean the refrigerator and see if anything needed discarding. I had to empty everything out onto the island first of all.My refrigerator is small and can get cluttered up fairly quickly. It was driving me crazy having so much disarray, so that was my morning task. After getting it all washed down, and some things tossed out. I emptied out the drawers and the sides of the doors.
Everything is growing so quickly now; I pulled off the insect netting to trim up some of the cabbage leaves. They are all starting to form heads and the cauliflower is over 2' tall already. It won't be long before I harvest some of these Napa (Chinese) Cabbage. I can see a Kimchi making day in the near future.
The butterfly garden is so pretty with all the Foxglove and Dianthus blooming. I took this right at dusk when the solar lights came on. This week the last of the Peony flowers dropped and I trimmed off all the spent branches. They all put on a lovely display this year blooming in between the heavy rainfall.
I don't know how time flies by so quickly, and I have to prepare breakfast meals for the freezer once again. It makes my life a lot easier doing large batches at one time. My husband likes to be able to thaw out whatever he feels like having the night before.
Yep, I couldn't resist going to the local nursery to see all the beautiful flowers. Not, that I needed anything, I just felt like getting out of the house for a change. This garden center used to have 2 large greenhouses. Over the years they have expanded and now have over 14 huge greenhouses on the farm.
The perennial flowers are filling all my gardens with gorgeous blossoms. These Foxglove are scattered throughout the butterfly garden and are stunning this weekend.The photo doesn't do them justice, so I tried to get some closeups too.
