Good day dear mates! So it's time to continue my garden journal. I hope July update become also attractive for you as it was with my previous posts which you could read earlier.
So let's start! Mid of June was reach for rains and wasn't so warm as I wish.
Anyway my garden continues to grow and plants begin to bring forth the harvest.
But let's begin with flowers. Now roses and lilies are in full bloom.
Here you can fill the beauty of lavender bloom.
And finally for this paragraph eleutherococcus.
Now let's move to berries and other plants. First off all I should mention that strawberries have already ripened and we are enjoying its fruits with whole family.
Here you can see first berries from new variety of strawberry about which I wrote in one of my previous posts.
Further, I want to note that cherries and sweet cherries are also ripe.
True, the cherry surprised this year by the fact that even when ripe berries appeared on the branches, I noticed flowers on others.
Moreover, this turned out to be typical not only for trees growing in my garden, but also for trees that grow with my neighbors and friends.
This year I got an excellent harvest of currants. This applies to both black and red currants.
I even managed to collect blackcurrants, and now it remains only to make delicious compotes and jams from it. And of course pies and eat it fresh.
Red currants are still ripening under the rays of the sun, but soon they will be collected from branches.
Also, we have already managed to taste the first raspberries this year, collected in our garden.
Unexpectedly, among the varieties of red raspberries, I found an excellent specimen of yellow raspberries.
I plan to transplant it in the fall to another more sunny place. Look at what large berries this bush happened to have this year.
Now let's move on to plants growing in a greenhouse. I have already managed to collect the first cucumbers grown by me this season.
Tomatoes are still green but I hope that close to the end of July they'll be ready
Arugula and lettuce still delight us with greens.
And here you can see zucchini. Those plants that were planted earlier are already blooming.
And those which have been planted later have not even released buds yet.
Peas have also bloomed in my garden. I think in August we will be able to enjoy its fruits.
I hope you are remember from my previous posts how were blooming blackberries and blueberries.
Now blackberries also as a blueberries are still green too but they will be ready just in August or in September in my opinion.
Amelanchier ovalis has already matured in the garden. So far we eat only fresh fruits, but I think in a week we will start picking berries to make compote, jam or just dry them for the winter.
Also in my review I should mention gooseberries. This year I expect a rich harvest of gooseberries. In a week we are preparing to start collecting it.
As a conclusion I want to say that in upcoming there is much work for me in garden. I hope that I can do all in time before September. This is especially true for planting trees, redevelopment of the garden and the acquisition of new plant varieties. But I will be able to tell you about this in the future, when some of the plans will be implemented.
Stay tuned! Yours
