Swiss Chard

Swiss Chard by Turtle & Dragon
Cool season crop - October 2013
Planted a few cool season plants, swiss chard, cauliflower, collard greens and kohlrabi. Shall see how they fare. We cut back the tomato plants in September and a couple of the plants are fruiting again. It wasn't a very good summer season in the raised beds, I didn't water enough which was the biggest factor.
Will make an attempt to post more regularly, sorry about the absence.
Enjoy the journey.

Amaryllis About To Bloom

Amaryllis about to bloom by Turtle & Dragon
Back yard Amaryllis - April 2013
The bulb was forced inside for Christmas two years ago and then planted in the back yard garden. Wasn't sure if it would ever bloom again. Can't wait to see its beauty. My someone special celebrated a birthday this week, so grateful to have him in my life. All the birthday wishes were greatly appreciated.
Hope all is well in your corner of the planet. Remember to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Enjoy the journey.
