Peek on Perennials

There other night I went for a stroll through the farm admiring everything green :) It seems like it has been ages since we've seen green!

I was pleasantly surprised to see my Sage growing back with vigor. I have a wonderful recipe hubby and I love for a 'Gorgonzola & Sage' burger so this herb comes in quite handy! (Recipe courtesy of an 'old' Rachel Ray cook book!)


The Peony bush I received from The Unusual Farmchick at a plant swap last year is also growing nicely....this makes me happy since hubby's friend, who was helping him mow the lawn last year, ran it right over!


I just thought this was a nice shot; looking out from the front yard across the road as the sun was setting :)




My chives look nice and full - I love when they bloom those purple 'poof balls' on top -- okay, that is so not the technical term, but, who cares! We've already been cooking with these too.





And this was my company during the evening stroll -- clearly he wasn't as into it as I was! He'd had enough I think ;)





Check out others photos from the farm & country at Farmchick's Farm Photo Friday!

Around the Farm.....

Not too much to report today! All went smoothly so far ;) *Knock on wood*
They are calling for storms so we held off on spraying the orchard, but I have YET to see a drop of rain *sigh* I hope that was the right decision......
I got a few more things I obtained at the plant swap in the ground. I put in the Peony I received from The Unusually Unusual Farm Chick as well as the Lovage herb plant.
Here are a few pictures I snapped on the cell this evening. I think this weekend I may breakdown and go out to get a new camera ;)

Grape Vines Growing

Need I say more?
