Garden Vlog #2

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Hi Maureen :)

Like Peter below, I can feel the love you have for growing things in this video...

Although, unlike him, I am not drinking rum and didnt fight karate today...lol..I did a supermarket shop, a walk and played with my kittens and son though :)

Thanks for sharing your garden like this :)

Hi Maureen,

Today I baked bread, painted a fence, worked in my garden, wrote poetry and finally went and fought karate at my karate club. Now I am relaxing, drinking rum, and enjoying your garden. I like the images and the music. I can feel the love you have for growing things, you just let them grow naturally. Your garden is just as it should be.

Regards, Peter

Gosh, everything grew SO quickly!! Incredible. And its all so beautiful.

[myrnaukelele]

We have a very short season so our crops have to grow quickly. Luckily the midnight sun helps.

[SunnyDazStormyNitz]

That looks like a real slice of heaven. Just beautiful.

[myrnaukelele]

Thanks Sunny and Stormy. We like it here. (especially in the summer when the sun is shining).

I Love the wildness in your garden, organised, but in a wild way. Beautiful.

[myrnaukelele]

Thanks Tia. The weeds did get away from me as usual-they just go wild out in the perennial beds. But that's what I love about perennials- they will bloom in all their beauty in spite of my neglect.

[MegMerrilies]

Lovely to see. Your plants look at the same stage as ours in Northern England. The only veg I'm growing is potatoes as I don't have space now but my pear tree has 17 pears (2 last year), I have apples, damsons and cherries. Thanks for sharing.

[myrnaukelele]

Pears! And cherries- two things I'd love to grow. Do you make jam from your fruit?

[MegMerrilies]

Only from my damsons because there are more of those than anything else.

[AntaresInScorpius]

hmmm you could make some roasted sunflower seeds.

[myrnaukelele]

Sunflowers are such happy flowers ... a garden isn't quite complete without them.

[Suzbekistan]

Beautiful!!! Look at all your hard work! It must be such a huge reward to harvest all that yummy stuff!

[myrnaukelele]

It is hard work- but well worth it. I can a lot and there's nothing like pulling out a jar of garden tomatoes in the middle of winter to bring back the summer sunshine.

[Blinkazoid]

Everythings looking nice and lush Maureen! Well except for the Ankle Corn. Ankle Corn is always a bad variety to plant:)

[myrnaukelele]

You're right Blinkazoid. I'll try a different variety next year lol!

I'm such an optomist- planting corn in Alaska...

[cputb1]

Geez, if you tell me you grow ranch dressing too, then I'm on my way up there for lunch.

These garden vids of yours always remind me of my mother. She so loved her garden.

[myrnaukelele]

The beauty and peace one finds in a garden is priceless.

[HeidiSaid]

Lovely garden and perfect summertime rendition!

~A favorite. Thank you!

[myrnaukelele]

Thanks Heidi. We can look back at all these garden vids in the middle of winter and remember the beauty...

[anmoose]

Looks beautiful up there, and well on its way to full production. You squeeze an awful lot into a mighty short season.

And you slapped two of my favorite musicians together for the background. I love what they do with this song.

Moosie

[myrnaukelele]

I love Doc's guitar playing. And nobody can pick mandolin quite like Grisman. I originally thought of using Janis Joplin's version...or even Billie Holliday's...but in the end I decided the simplicity of guitar and mandolin worked better with this vid.

[anmoose]

Your choice of the simplicity was perfect. They made it a laid back summer stroll through the garden.

I "think" I have about everything Doc has ever recorded, and most of David's. Doc is a National treasure, and one of the most incredible men I've ever had the honor of meeting.

[seniorsite]

Beautiful Thank you so very much! ......Dee

[myrnaukelele]

Glad to share - it is lovely here this time of year.

[hallbe]

I find myself completly envious of you little place in the world! ;-)

[myrnaukelele]

It is a beautiful little spot if I do say so myself.

[proofisinthepudding]

Pretty garden!:)

[myrnaukelele]

Thank you. It's at it's peak right now.
