My grandson's name day and also the name day of little Georgia, way downunder in Australia.
I know you both had happy family days
St George the dragon slayer, patron saint of England
Agios Georgios - a great martyr in the Orthodox church
Another fiesta comes and goes.
Grandchildren and their mother
Finding ways to pass the time
Who managed to stay the longest? Wasn't the one in pink
Had some pots of basil delivered today. They will be transplanted into big clay pots
St George ~ the patron Saint of our church!!
ReplyDeleteVery popular Saint here. Our big church is also dedicated to him. Usually there would a parade of his icon and sweets and bread at the church. Not this year
DeleteSt George's Day is not widely celebrated any longer in England. I gather it may be construed as too jingoistic. 😕
ReplyDeleteYour basil looks very healthy. We have tried to grow it several times but it always seems to end up ravaged by tiny white flies. Don't know where they come from but we have given up now.
Sign of the times. Here it's a huge tradition. Each town, city, island has a patron saint and big parades.
DeleteBasil is late this year. Usually grows here big and bushy.
No white flies
Happy St George's Day Linda. I would be splitting the Basil in half and ending up with four plants if I was you.
ReplyDeleteHullo gardener Dave. I should split it in half? Wouldn't have thought of splitting basil. It's twice the price this year so I shall give it a try.
DeleteHappy Birthday to your George!
ReplyDeleteWhat are they doing, that the one in pink, did not win? Just staying still? >,-) And where are they doing it? Outside, somewhere.
Gentle hugs...

It's his nameday not his birthday. His name is George and yesterday was the fiesta if St George.
DeleteThey are balancing on their elbows outside in the yard. Not easy
24th here already and we have two birthdays (a friend and granddaughter) and a wedding anniversary (friends) to remember.
ReplyDeleteWe will all have many reasons to celebrate when this is finally over
Deleteoh basil, I just love the smell, it's so fragrant, I am looking forward to adding some herbs to my garden which already has 2 large rosemary plants in it.
