More On Phillip's Garden

We have an abundance of sunflowers, and consequently a healthy bee population! Guess that's good for the environment, right? 
For aesthetic purposes he has planted flowers all through the yard. I do love it when I come home from work and see a vase with fresh flowers on the kitchen table!
He also has been working on a grafting project...I don't know exactly what he's been grafting, but it involves fruit trees.


See how bees love sunflowers?
Love the blushing shades of pink and rose...

This is another variety of pear tree...we also enjoy a healthy crop of tomatoes!

Phillip's Garden

While Phillip's garden seems more like a mini-farm (because it is so crowded with so many things!), I have to say I'm so proud of the things he's learned to do! Believe me, gardening is not exactly a family trait (other than my sister's green thumb) and Phillip has managed to learn everything himself. Here's what he's growing:

A pear tree...
Fresh carrots from the garden... Oh so sweet and fresh!
Most beautiful flowers such as these roses...

Earlier this year we had gorgeous tulips!



Stay tuned, there's more to come...

Sunflower Interlude





Every once in a while I have to take a break-- like seeing the fields of sunflowers planted at Longwood Gardens this year.

This is my peaceful tribute to 9/11.
