Memorial Day Weekend, eating from your garden yet?

SlimeyOkra, your weather sounds much like ours. It's been a VERY dry spring - only had 4/10 of rain so far - which has been very welcome given all the flooding we've had here for the past four years. Some of the farmers around us are finally reclaiming some of their land. :) We don't really grow greens most years, but have been eating asparagus and rhubarb for over a week now. I'm still putting out transplants, which isn't unusual for early June for us. Tomatoes and peppers and pole beans are the last to go out. I don't do much fussing to get early crops. The peas are up nicely, though. This year was the earliest I've ever gotten them planted!

In tribute to Memorial Day I will add a rose of my own. This is Courageous. It was named for those who fought in the air for the allies in WWII. I've not had the luxury of visiting a rose garden for years, how fun for you! Great pictures, and I very much like the last one, Table for one. I tried looking it up on Help me find, but couldn't find it. Is there another name?

Are you quilting this Memorial Day weekend?

Linda I want to see your Hungry Caterpillar quilts when you get them finished, my son loved the Hungry Caterpillar book when he was little. Sue I hope you enjoy your trip. I am starting to hand-quilt row #4 of my parents' Card Tricks quilt this weekend. Last week I collaborated with my good friend Christy and made plastic templates for a Kaleidoscope Quit that will be scrappy quilts for her and me to work on in the future. This week we are going RVing and will be taking a few Granny Square quilt blocks to hand-piece that will be part of a baby quilt I am making for my cousin's wife who is due this fall. I have a sinus infection and have started antibiotics for that and M-I-L who lives with us is sick with really bad back pains so I am on full kitchen and laundry duty this weekend. School is out and we are getting to sleep in in the mornings, ... all in all not a bad week, and I have the motorhome almost fully loaded, the bulk of it is done anyway other than just needing to load some last minute things the morning of the trip. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend. Best to you and yours, Sandra

Memorial Day Weekend 2017 Severe Weather Check-In Thread
Q
Comments (9)
It was a dark and stormy night and our weather radio went off for at least 4 hours nonstop as tornadic circulations danced through the skies near us, but not many made it to the ground. A tornado touched down near Ringling in the county adjacent to us and headed towards Wilson, Healdton and Lone Grove. After spotters confirmed power flashes and a tornado on the ground near Ringling, they got a Particularly Dangerous Situation Tornado Warning and that got everyone in our county stirred up. And, that was the way it should been because all those communities at risk are right along the Carter-Love county line, so folks living near there should have been watching and even heading for shelter. We had spotters out, lots of traffic on our GroupMe app and radios, etc. but all we got out of this was hail, rain and wind as far as I know. Our final tornado warning, for the one seemingly headed towards us, was abruptly cancelled when that supercell abruptly jumped the river and headed away from us. Then we got pounded by a severe thunderstorm that dropped 1.25" of rain (more than we'd had the whole month of May so far) and, in some parts of our neighhborhood but not here, hail. I was more worried about hail than tornadoes because I have some huge onions bulbed up above ground but not yet developing soft necks. I had to resist the urge around midnight to run yank them out of the ground for their own good as big hail approached parts of our county. I found no damage in the garden except for 1 onion with a snapped neck (it wasn't at the soft neck stage so the wind merely broke its neck early), a rain gauge blown over and lying on the ground and another rain gauge totally missing. Ok, I'm out for the day. Y'all have a good time and let's be thankful that the wicked weather seemingly did little damage and missed most all of us. I hope the folks who haven't checked in are okay. I haven't watched the news yet to hear how folks outside of OK fared. I hope the damage across the country isn't as bad as they feared it would be. From watching TWC last night, I suspect there is a lot of wind damage in some areas across the country.

Marina, your roses look wonderful. Weren't you having a deer problem after your move? I have no idea if I am remembering that right! You have a wonderful collection of roses.

Thank you guys!
Carol, yes, you are right - we did have deer problem right after we moved here but since then the area became more populated, we've got three dogs (they stay inside but take frequent 'walks' :). Knocking on wood, no unpleasant episodes with deer so far.

What an interesting collection of the most beautiful, heavenly roses. My favorites are probably Himmelsauge, Papi Delbard, Nahema and Alchymist but they are all gorgeous. Your garden must be a dream.

I'm SO impressed with these gorgeous photos! I just ordered Nahema. Why in the world isn't this rose wildly popular?? Everything I've read about it is SOOO good!
I'll have to research several roses in these photos. Can hardly believe all the buds on Baltimore Belle! WOW!
Wish I still lived on 5 acres, and had more room!
Sigh...

Could you describe the fragrance of Nahema, pls? I'm desperately waiting for mine to bloom . . . apparently, it's one of the most fragrant roses, is that true?
