4 season garden in Asuncion


4 seasons all in one day:

Spring, because all the little birdies are doing their spring thing and the zucchini is blooming.
Summer, because it's hot again and we're going to the beach next.
Autumn, because I just pulled out a couple of tomatoe plants that were just about finished, and picked off the green ones to ripen inside.
Winter, because that's what the calendar says.

Here's a pic of my favorite blossom in our garden today. I'd love to see what else people have flowering today!

Ta-da-da-di-dahhh-di-da-da....I LOVE the 4 seasons...both in the classical sense and the funk ones.

my tomatoes are going strong yet...growing in the laja rock pile and loving it.

Gardening is such a delight in baja.
Here is my jasmine...just wish the photo was a scratch and sniff as it's olor is heavenly!!!

Here in Mt. Shasta we have only three seasons. July, August, and Winter.

It's bright, sunny, 44 degrees and blowing a two flag gale!

Nice Nancy, I have video of green tomatoes at your house in January.

Woody ---the plant is called Jasminum nitidum...Angel-Wing Jasmine or other common names.
Those flowers look nice...especially since it looks like we're in for another round of ice and snow here in Fort Worth.

insert wistful sigh here.
the only thing "blooming" around here are my allergies :) especially when we burn the juniper in the fireplace.
12 days till I get to smell that Jasmine.....ladies, lock up your flowers, Sissy's coming to town!!!
