The garden is rather overwhelmed by long grass at the moment. We should get out there with a strimmer and cut it all back, but instead we have our little routes through the savannah to where we want to go. Going off trail means itchy legs and vicious little seed pods in one's sandals. The cats rub up against your legs when they want to be fed, and their coats are full of scratchy little horrors. But some things are flourishing. My first artichokes, from two different plantings, both matured at once. I'm not sure if this is a crop or a discard, to encourage proper growth next year. I ate them anyway, the rounded one was yummy, the spiky one a bit sour.
And our fifth type of orchid has emerged from under the generator box: a Pyramidal Orchid. Quite impressive, this one.
