 Please be advised that I have DELETED my FEEDBURNER because some of you were getting my posts twice.instead of Deactivating it..many of you on feedburner but not signed up here..will lose my posts..

Honestly Feedburner.I hate you.Now what?This has turned into a full on drama queen blog.

Grrrrr.

The roses have been stellar..QC stellar not California stellar:)

You have to love what you have.

Or you are in for an even more difficult life.

I picked the scapes..made Gaby's basil vinaigrette adding some scapes..Its fabulous.

My serviceberry that gorgeous white blooming tree out front..

when I get to the berries before the birds and squirrels..

I get rewarded:)Tiny red berries ..

So I made Pardonyourfrench ..s..Blueberry/serviceberry almond financiers..good..we actually preferred the serviceberries:)

Also that's cod in my dinner plate smothered under a terrific mediterranean type topping..  olive oil..garlic of course..capers..olives lemon juice basil parsley salt and pepper.I wanted to show you my pea sprouts form my seed sprouting experiment..and   a gift my daughter gave me..  a crayon..s that shaves delights in your dishes;)

OMGEE I'm so discouraged..re my gardens..

This morning I awoke to 80% of my tomato plants uprooted and left to wither:(

My 2 Bells of Irealand..

I have tried replanting them..I now have prickly rose bush branches around them..Everything looked so promising yesterday..I had hooped them all..

I walk to the potting sheshed later..all the poppies with heads the heads bitten off:(

I now have my old for sale signs propped up against the remaining ones..

Everything looks awful.

Just awful.

Burnt grass..just awful.

I have rose chafers galore.

Next yr..  some kind of deterrent and definitely fencing abound my tomatoes..I would have never thought poppies..they have eaten all my chard ..

So sad.

I used Ricardo' s recipe again but for my big bee/beehive mold do it's a triple batch..I love how this recipe gives you single double triple..

As soon as I find it in English..I'll post.On IG I can send you a photo(2) of the recipes..  in French..I emailed the Ricardo company to ask permission to share and they said OF COURSE.

Class Act.

The first clematis is always this Atragene Macropetala group 1.

The gardens are awakening..and I love that..The work continues every day..and parts of my gardens need overhauls..a Huge Korean Lilac is dead in the middle..4 need replacing in front where the snow falls on them..I missed out on more mulch..it's going to be tough again with watering bans..

Yet I persist:)

Never give up.

PS I was so proud..until my first subscriber  email came to my husband..never give up right?

Please bear with me.
