Hi again, It’s summer so I don’t have as much time to post that much. Was sitting in the garden and thought I would post some photos today. I had my first Strawberries from my garden today, and did they ever taste good. I noticed that one of my strawberry plants is showing a pink flower, it is not open yet so am not sure if that is what they look like before they open and then turn white when fully open. I took some photos of this and that so will show you some now and some in a few days.
That’s it for now, I will post some more in a few days or so. Till then.
Lucky guy to have fresh strawberries. The wild strawberries are ready in some places.
ReplyDeleteThey had some really good deals at the garden center in May. I think I will buy another Whiskey barrel next year for just Strawberries.
DeleteStrawberry flowers are a great sight nestled in amongst those wonderful leaves. The promise of delicious fruit (keep a watch for the slugs and birds). Beautiful gerbera, viola, marigold. I'm one of the odd species who actually love the smell of marigold leaves!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of Marigolds and the color. Will try to take some seeds off of my 2 plants for next spring seed starting.
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful Horst. I would love to have some fresh strawberries that are not from California. They are so huge they are not nearly as flavorful.
ReplyDeleteI only have 5 Strawberry plants, I have them in a large half whiskey barrel with some other plants. They seem to like it that way and are growing well.
DeleteEnjoy your strawberries. Nothing like coming from your own garden. Your flower pics are so pretty. I know I am not posting much as the garden is too much fun. I have a green paper on one plant already. Flowers on my tomato plants. Enjoy your garden Horst.
ReplyDeleteI have flowers on my tomato plants as well, hope they all turn into nice large Tomato's. Your growing season is much longer than mine, so I hope you have lots of nice tomato's on your plants.
DeleteDid you have your fresh strawberries neat or with something?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and ever so sharp images! Well done Horst!!!
Hi Daniel, the Strawberries went strait from the plant to my mouth, neat I guess.
DeleteLove those Barberton Daises in the first photo, the colour is fantastic. Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane, I thought the color was awesome as well. I think next year I will get a few more colors.
DeleteWonderful picture Horst..... colors and shapness are very good.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Thank you, Joop.
DeleteBeautiful pictures Horst. I love that Pansy.
ReplyDelete(still waiting for my strawberries to ripen lol)
Keith, I was lucky to buy a plant that already had some strawberries on them. It will take a few more weeks to get some more to ripen.
DeleteNice Horst, the colors just pop! Hope you get more time to post, I too struggle with finding spare time..
ReplyDeleteCheers! : )
Hey Michael, first I have to find subjects to write about and take photos of. I don't post images that come straight from the camera, but I also don't change the color, I adjust the density and maybe darken certain areas of the images to get what I want from the image. This comes from many many years of professional photography. That's why the color pops like that.
DeleteYou have already strawberries in your garden? That is great. Horst, these are very beautiful pictures of your garden flowers. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteKaya.
These are not from seed, they are from the garden center. Thanks Kaya.
DeleteYou must have a beautiful garden Horst. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteHi Scott, it looks better as closeups, then a general view. I may do a general view in a month or so.
DeleteUna belleza de fotos y de flores!!! Me encantan.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo
Thank you, hugs to you as well.
DeleteOooh! Lucky lucky Horst! Strawberries? In your garden? lol...share with Wolfie!! ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely array of vibrant colours in these photos, no wonder you haven't got much time for posting :)
Typical British summer is here for us...sun, strawberries and cream I hear you say lol...oh no...wind, none-stop rain and huge floods everywhere! Take care and enjoy your strawberries :)
Hey Wolfie, by the time the strawberries would get to you, they would be rotten, but I will think of you when I eat the next batch.:-)
ReplyDeleteYou're flowers and photos are beautiful! Strawberries already? Wow, that seems early but I'm so confused with what time of the year it is right now with not barely being home yet! lol
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day Horst!
So colorful and cheery!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy day to you:)
My strawberry plants are so over grown, but filled with blossoms right now. A project is to dig them all up and replace with a different variety. They only produce tiny little berries. Have a wonderful week and enjoy all the beautiful flowers around you. Hugs Carrie
