Some photos from my daughter's garden area
An artichoke plant. Too far gone to be eaten
The 'flower' up close. When the sun was out this artichoke was open showing the pink fuzz around the heart inside but as the clouds came across it closed up
Their walnut tree. Full of walnuts which I still haven't gathered for pickling. It may be too late
This is a very good shade tree in the summer, so green and leafy
The hammock under the citrus trees
This used to be the chook pen
Now its the perfect place for a hammock. A breeze comes down from the hills behind in the summer afternoon. Cool and quiet for a summer siesta

ReplyDeleteThey had a nice siesta there away from the noise of the bbq
DeleteI got into a hammock once - and then couldn't get out LOL. I ended up rolling over and falling out so haven't tried it again :))
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even try. I think I would roll straight out!! Funny for everyone except us!
DeleteI love the area with the hammocks. I had a couple but they have disappeared in one of my moves.
ReplyDeleteWe had a hanging chair too. Most uncomfortable but all fun for the kids
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen an artichoke plant. I've eaten artichokes, but have never seen how they look before they are marinated. That walnut tree must be a different kind than the ones we have here. We don't collect the walnuts - but the squirrels have a great old time burying them everywhere. I don't even know if they are edible! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteArtichokes are hard work. They often thorns and you throw away everything on that flower except the tiny heart inside.
DeleteOur walnuts are definitely edible.
I once read that Walnut trees give off a natural insect repellent, so is the perfect place to put your outdoor dining table. I cannot vouch for this, but it's a nice idea!
ReplyDeleteThey give loads of shade too. I'll tell my daughter about the repellent
DeleteWonderful garden for grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteAnd the sea is only 20 metres away! They are so lucky
DeletePerfect spot to just relax.
ReplyDeleteIt was cool and away from the noise. Deligjtful
DeleteLooks idyllic. Great place to raise a family.
