16 October 2022 (pruning)

fall pruning

three bags of clothes

off to Goodwill

8 April 2022 (showers)

April showers . . .

a row of empty plant pots

waits by the shed

12 October 2020 (plants)

winter is coming

I play god

with the patio plants

26 July 2020 (squash)

waxing crescent…

a big summer squash

left on our doorstep

8 April 2020 (chives)

pink moon

a scent of fresh chives

in the raking

27 March 2020 (peas)

new moon

in spite of everything

planting peas

11 July 2019 (ferns)

before the rain

perfume of ferns

on my fingers

4 June 2019 (sweet peas)

sweet pea tendrils

coming to understand

their least resistance

October 12: Geraniums

warm-ups

moving the plants

inside for winter

July 26: Day-lilies

no more politics
deadheading
the day-lilies
 

June 8: Clematis

purple clematis

finally tall enough

to train the vines
