Hello,Look at this little thing,,,dropped on the road..covered in ticks!! No, we didn't pick it up, my neighbour Leonie has taken him in.
Here's the 50 odd year old donkey that was treated a fortnight ago, he's looking well, taking in the rays in the olive grove..I was on my way down to the kypos, to see how things are growing.
Our usual 2 eggs were there..
...and just look at these!!! in March...strawberries..yummy!
I spied some broad beans tucked away
We planted some artichokes this year, we probably won't get any this year but the spikey plants are huge and very sculptural.
My parsley is prolific...I can freeze that.
The tomato plants are thriving
Some courgettes are ready and waiting to be transplanted (or is that a cucumber? ek! Lost the label!)
There's some mandarins on the furthest tree whilst the one closer is flowering..
The vines are sprouting..gorgous colour, so vibrant.
Dewi, waiting ..patiently in the shade.
The sky was a wonderful colour and it's been warm today..this is a redundant windpump, it's such a shame that they've been left to collapse.
The field gladioli are in bloom under the olive trees, just a glimpse of colour.
A huge 'pithoi' left in the undergrowth..
Oh dear....our potates are rearing their heads out of the ground but my photographs were so out of focus I couldn't use them...so you'll just have to believe me when I say we've got rows of spuds too...
You truly live in a paradise area
ReplyDeleteIts lovely to see such an abundance of home grown things and greenery and warm blue skies. It looks heavenly - and the pup is beautiful!

you might get artichokes this year - ours are also a late flowering variety, so be patient!
ReplyDeleteYour post today had me anxious to get me hands into the soil and encourage my garden to grow.
ReplyDeleteLovely!
Just call you Tom and Barbara! Can't wait to come over for a yummy salad. Just need a few sheep and a cow now... Heather xx
ReplyDeleteIs a kypos an allotment?!? Whatever it is you seem to be getting some great produce from it.
ReplyDeleteLucky puppy! So glad your friend is a soft touch and took it in, and that the donkey is looking so well.
What a dear pup! as usual the photo's are lovely - Oh to have some blue sky over here!
ReplyDeleteLove Lydia xx
Aww what a cute pup. Why are some people so cruel :(
ReplyDeleteWow so much new life and growth in your part of the world. It was a lovely sunny (but cold) day here today which was nice and apparently it's been raining everywhere else :D
so pretty where you are...glad puppy got a good home.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. We can start our planting now. You've inspired me to get moving!!
ReplyDeleteMust get my plants in!!!
Have a beautiful Sunday Jude!!
xo
sighhhhh...I'm green with envy! I can feel the sunny warmth oozing from the glorious pix...sighhhh!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens lovely how spring is well on the way and you have such delicious things growing. The puppy is adorable, i think i'd have had to have adopted him with that face!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the precious pup has a good home. Oh my, but I love the old donkey resting in the olive grove. (I would love to purchase a copy of that if possible for my bulletin board of favorite things.) The old donkey who lives far away somehow encourages me.
ReplyDeleteYour budding Spring photographs are so wonderful.
Thanks for letting me tag along on your Spring ramble.
Glad to see your veggies are coming on. None of mine have come out of the ground yet!
ReplyDeleteI am playinhg "catchup" with your blog Jude, I have had internet problems......
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all the growth of veg etc...... How I loved seeing those exquisite little gladioli when I visited Crete years ago, so much nicer than the big blousey things we are used to seeing in the shops.
Also loved seeing the almonds in the previous post. :O)
