Very busy week

 Hi Everyone!

It's been a very busy week and it's only Wednesday. LOL

It's raining today and the garden is loving it. I have 8 garden areas now and everything is thriving. My neighbor gave me some poppy plants I dug out of her yard. With the rain one of them produced this beauty.

There is so much pollen, wish I had some bees.

I also harvested this gorgeous cabbage. There is nothing like growing your own food.
Oh, a few years ago I grew a huge amount of dill in my big garden. Since then I grow dill in a different place. I have carrots in the big garden this year and saw, what I thought were carrot tops, growing in the corner of the plot. Uhhh no, for no apparent reason it is dill.
It's been years since I've had dill in this area and the soil has been dug up, changed out, and revamped every year. So, you can see why I'm so surprised.
I'm off to dust the house. One of the things I dislike. If I were rich I would hire someone to come in just to dust. LOL
Have a great day today, and I hope to see you for FFO.

Hello Nicole,
Thank you for your visit and comment.
Gardening blogs here in Brazil have moved to
YouTube, so I'm almost without company, lol.
It's certainly wonderful to grow your own food.
That cabbage looks beautiful!
It's been raining in my region for a week now. It's starting to get really complicated, and I believe the weather conditions will
get more and more challenging. Here in Brazil, poppies are planted in one region and distributed throughout the country, some in pots and others as cut plants to make bouquets. Your last image may be a plant I have here but I use to make tea, it's called fennel.
Have a good week.
Janice.

Clearly, dill is persistent! Maybe that's why they call it "dillweed" -- I wonder!

...our garden would love a bit of rain too.

That's a nice looking head of cabbage. I guess your dill just wasn't done growing in its original spot and decided to surprise you. :)

I hate dusting too.

Seems like your garden is full of surprises and beauty this week—poppies, cabbage, and mystery dill all thriving despite the rain; here’s hoping the dusting goes quickly so you can get back to the greenery

I can relate to your dusting dislike. I try to avoid it as much as possible, but of course, sometimes it has to be done. :) Dill is amazing the way it can just pop up. And that cabbage is gorgeous. And I hope tasty too. hugs-Erika

I have housesat in houses that I didn't mind dusting. However, I hate dusting my house. I have too many "things" sitting around.
That cabbage looks amazing.

That’s an impressive cabbage. I could plan about for different meals with that one!

Rita said...

I'd rather dust than clean the bathroom or iron--lol! But then, there is little to iron anymore these days. That's a relief to me. ;)
Love seeing all your garden pics. That dill is persistent! :)

I did dill a few years ago. For whatever reason, it is popping up all over the garden in different spots. Which is fine with me -- I don't have a "cultivated" garden.But a bit of a mystery! That poppy is lovely and what a cabbage!
