alabama Scottish thistle…
planted in my garden in honor of my maternal grandmother & her mother. my great grandmother immigrated to Vermont from Scotland, by herself, when she was 18 years old. I love knowing her courage & hope that is in me.
wee veggies are delightful
the last images are sweet potatoes made into…wee monsters? i wish i could say that i grew these. but they came from a friend’s garden & when i saw them, i knew i had to share her treasures.

how old are you?
these photographs were taken in a historic garden. In Alabama, the humidity causes moss, mold or anything green to cover everything if the sun doesn’t hit it long enough. Summers in Alabama are akin to walking into a Sauna.
