July is NOT my favorite month in the garden.
Water, weed, pick, again; water, weed, pick, again…
Too many tommy toes.
Itchy squash plants host their skittering beetles.
Zucchinis grow giant the minute my back is turned.
Pumpkins? I didn’t plant pumpkins.
Tomatoes… tomahtoes…potatoes…potahtoes..
Let’s kill the whole thing off. Get the sprayer and fill it with herbicide.
WAIT! There is one non-needy, non-weedy spot left in the garden.
A group of flowers, each wearing a crown.
Pineapple Lily. Eucomis.
I appreciate these lovely, long spires of delicate blooms.
I have a change of heart and get the hose to water instead.
Garden Saved by Eucomis!!!

Wonderful Pineapple Lily, my mother had those and used to practically stand over them waiting for the flower. Wonder if they will grow here???

Voilà de beaux légumes pour préparer de bons plats et je trouve les fleurs magnifiques. J’imagine qu’un jardin demande beaucoup de travail… Bravo 🙂
Mes amitiés.

It’s a fascinating plant, Eucomis. I used to grow it in a previous garden. It looks too exotic to bloom in England!
