The other morn when I had my camera out I took these photos....I like the simplicity of them.
I planted some birdhouse gourds along the fence....I can't even remember if I have ever planted these gourds before. I was hoping they would grow up the fence....
and they are, but they are also growing up my tomatoes and the tomato stakes. I almost feel I am in a jungle when I am out there.
But I am still glad I planted them. I just hope I have some gourds that reach a good size.And they don't seem to slow the tomatoes down....I made 4 quarts and a pint of salsa night before last, and need to make more. I like making salsa because I cannot find any to buy that tastes good consistently. Year before last I made 26 quarts of it, which lasted Sarah and Jeremy and us till this year. Though Sarah may have been out a little while.
Our other daughter, Rachel, likes thick and chunky salsa, so she had rather buy her own because my salsa has lots of juice, which is the way I like it.
I too like the simplicity of the leaves with the droplets of water. Very nice picture. The others are enjoyable too. I admire your production of salsa in such quantities. I hope the gourds develop as you'd like!
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured the simplicity all right, and I love the 'phone cord' tendril! (and thanks for the new one from Simon's Cat, I have a while playlist devoted to him on YouTube, will add this one!)
ReplyDeleteLove the twisty vine...thought it was a telephone cord at first!
ReplyDeleteLooks like most of us see a telephone cord in that vine! :)
ReplyDeleteNice shots Rose.
Tomatoes aren't doing very well here. Not enough sun! And it's also too cool this year.
ReplyDeleteI grew gourds one year and then didn't know what to do with them. ;-)
Nice pics!
Lovely photos, Rose. It's amazing what we can find, sometimes, right in front of our eyes!
ReplyDeleteYour salsa sounds delicious! I prefer the juicy kind, too!
Your salsa sounds yummy. I like it mild too.
ReplyDeleteVines---they go where they want to. LOL. I hope you can get enough gourds to make at least one birdhouse. Fun thing to do.
Simon Cat video is so funny. I have only seen one other---it is where he is sleeping (again) and the cat is trying to wake him up. Again lots of destruction. LOL MB
Rose: Really cool shots.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm.... salsa!! I love it but noone I know makes it homemade. I always have to buy it... sigh.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures!
