Seeing Red:: August Garden

Sunday, August 28, 2016 15:06

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

As I was wandering the garden this month I noticed something…something other than green. Red was every where in every shade from bright orange red to soft magenta. Of course there are red tomatoes and red hot peppers but the not so apparent hints caught my eye this month.

A special flower: The Nightwatchman variety of Holly Hock. Saving seeds as I type.

Red Leaf lettuce.

Beets! Yum. After watching my Grandma Dutra eat these from a can I never thought beets would be a favorite. But they are easy to grow and taste like candy when roasted.

Sun Gold tomatoes; these maybe more orange than red but they are beautifully sweet.

Another bee buzzing about collecting pollen. I told my son about this magical process and now each time he sees a bee he says “Awe look Mom, a bee getting pollen.” The scientist in me melts each time.

Hot, Hot, Hot!

The constant in all my gardens, nasturtium. Also saving seeds from these little ones.

A basket full of red veggies (and green and yellow and orange). The garden is bursting. In the next couple of weeks I will be harvesting and preserving drying, freezing and canning. The bounty is too much to eat; especially when there are figs coming ripe.

Maybe next month Orange will be the dominate color

Till then,

Cheers!

Kelly
