7/29/09 BEACHES AND BLOOMS





Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 58 degrees, wind W, light to breezy, the channel is wrinkled, the sky mostly clear and the barometer predicts sunny skies.
Everyone went to the beach yesterday, sand and water providing endless fascination for the kids.
The garden is very pretty now, lots of blooms, and all tumbled and unkempt. that’s what most gardens looked like before the advent of varied color mulches and Roundup.
Asparagus officinalis, in the Lily family (note the tiny lily flowers) has been esteemed as a vegetable since ancient times, and is native to the steppes of Russia and Poland and elsewhere in Europe. It has always been an important herbal diuretic that stimulates the kidneys to eliminate stones and edema. The tiny yellow flowers will be followed by bright red little berries.
