Got caught in the rain today, and waited out the shower under a rhododendron. Not a bad way to spend fifteen minutes. Entertained myself watching a crow across the street, looking picturesque in a blooming dogwood.
It's bulbs are used often in #MiddleEastern cuisine; especially in #Iran where they grow wild in mountain ranges. Its #plant extracts are #medicinal - used to treat fungal & bacterial infections, malaria treatments & anti-dandruff treatment.
It was a spectacularly beautiful day here today and we got all the Cucurbits planted out and covered with my white plastic totes (cloches). We've got:
Zucchini (Dunja)
Squash (Sunburst)
Butternut Squash (Butter Baby)
Cucumber (Marketmore)
Our planting out is almost done now with only 2 more plantings of corn and the Okra still to go in.😀 #gardening #allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #spring @gardening
