Fall is coming... I guess

As I mentioned in the previous post, it is being an interesting season. Our summer started around the third week of August. I had no red tomatoes until then. Now I have tomatoes (another post soon), lots of them.

In the meantime, one of my trees is already turning red, and leaves are falling. Interesting... Is this tree trying to tell me that I should rush and eat all my tomatoes before a frost comes? May be I should....

I cannot remember the type of tree this one is. I had a company 2 months ago that came to my house to remove a tree. They could not tell either, and they very knowledgeable about trees. I asked my neighborhood group... until today I got no answers. This tree grows veryyyyyy slowwwwwwly. I guess that it is a good sign as it is very close to the pavement. I like this trees - ok, ok, I like plants :-)

Some of you might know that I like to play with Gimp - a free image manipulation program, "similar" to photoshop. Having that car in the picture is "not a good thing" :-) Here is an edited picture:

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see you again soon.

What is in my garden now - Azalea

This is my first post in this new blog. Some of you might already know: I love to garden! I love flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc... In summary, I like pretty much any vegetation that has either a flower or something that I can eat LOL.

While going around my garden today, I noticed some azalea flowers! My azaleas already flowered in early spring. I have no clue why they are flowering again. It might be because of the mild summer that we had, and a hot beginning of fall.

There are not as many flowers as I had during spring. In Spring, you cannot see the green from the leaves. However, trust me: I am not complaining... I tried to propagate this particular azalea several times, but I did not succeed. I read again some propagation techniques, and I will try one of them again this year. I will let you know what happen in the future, as I try to show my garden and some of the things I've tried.

Thanks for stopping by,
