Wir machen heute mal blau

Wir machen heute mal blau

Blau – die Farbe der Romantik finden wir aktuell am Teich mit der Iris sibirica. Morgens sitzen wir hier besonders gern, um die Flora und Fauna zu erleben. In der Einfahrt blüht Linum perenne, der blaue Stauden-Lein, im Staudenbeet die Akelei und auf dem Fensterbrett die Aurikel morgen treiben wir es bunt 😉

2 au 8 mai 2022

All this week I worked on clearing lavender of weeds along the tops of eight terrace walls. I also removed the largest, woodiest ones and replaced with ones I propagated from cuttings. This is done twice a year, and I feel I should try to do it thrice. It was looking pretty shaggy when I started. Now I must remember to water them a few times this summer then they will be left to fend for themselves come autumn.

I also did lots of watering and hoeing of lots of weeds. One morning, Mme. assisted me pricking out Linum perenne from this pot into lots of individual pots. They are doing well.

When they grow up, they will look like this...

Saturday morning I took my car on it’s longest drive since being with me, to Aix-en-Provence for Catherine’s party. It was great fun. We were asked to wear outfits from either the 1920s or the 1960s. Everyone was in good spirits and I didn’t get to bed until 03h00.

Sunday, we gathered again for lunch. We were treated to gazpacho Manchego made by her cousin.
