the crops

everyone's suffering from this summer from hades.

toms like marbles, 

few cucumbers, the other plant stalled with no growth

 others totally fried.the beautiful orange dreams momiji gone to plant heaven.

the only one doing well is the calamodin as it is semi tropical.

and the interior yuccas.they couldn't be happier.

on a positive note  happy day of asturias

all summer

threading and re threading until i got it right amid the various heat waves. all my respect for weavers who work linen. cottolin doesn't have the charm of linen,but it doesn't break. one has to make compromises.and it doesn't shed as much a fact that my lungs and  assorted allergies appreciate.

that said let the show commence.

an exercise in gorgeousness

 yuzu plantules, beyond gorgeous. should keep my mouth shut as this year i think the golden dreams momiji was killed bcse of the heavy praise.next spring they will be moved to a bigger training pot and feeded heavily.still  a 2-3 year wait until the first flower.
