Happy Summer Solstice from PT’s Garden. Take a moment. Listen for the birds. #summersolstice #longestday #ptsgarden #birds #nature #flowers #joy #iowa #midwest

Good Monday morning to all. Our plentiful rains have resulted in Spider Man daylily blooms. 7 inches across, leaves one breathless at its beauty. #ptsgarden #iowa #midwest #daylily #flowers #gardenersworld #gardening

The functional part of PT’s Garden: the open meadows have been mowed & made into bales. The bales will be used for the cattle next door. Win-win. #ptsgarden #gardening #ag #midwest #iowa #summer #agriculture #farm

My beautiful best friend lost the battle with cancer a few days ago. My heart is in a million pieces. The next morning, ‘Casablanca’ bloomed for the first time. Notice the light in the petals. RIP my precious friend. (I hate cancer.) #gardening #ptsgarden #lilies #iowa #nature

Guests for tea tomorrow. Limelight hydrangea will take center stage. Here’s to a cuppa. #Gardenshour #flowers #hydrangea #ptsgarden #tea #midwest #iowa #nature #friends

Summer in Iowa means: beefsteak tomatoes for BLT’s. Note the size of this beauty. Yum. Happy Friday, friends. #iowa #midwest #vegetables #ptsgarden #gardening #summer

Best summer gift for a friend. Fresh cherry tomatoes, picked this morning. Reminder: don’t refrigerate. Just wash & enjoy. #summer #midwest #ptsgarden #vegetables #iowa #gardening #gift

Mother Nature never fails to amaze. Look at the sunlight on this morning’s harvest of fresh tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are the size of golf balls. 😳 #ptsgarden #vegetables #sunlight #midwest #iowa #tomatoes #summer

Happy Labor Day to all. A big thank you to the horses 🐎 from next door who contributed to this beauty. Cherry tomatoes are the size of golf balls. #iowa #midwest #ptsgarden #summer #tomatoes #gardening

A warm & hearty thank you to my new followers. I consider each of you a friend. You’re always welcome to join us for a nice cup of tea, in a beautiful cup and saucer. #thankyou #ptsgarden #tea #grateful #iowa #midwest

A beautiful shroud of fog covered the vegetable garden this morning. The late season vegetables are loving it. #ptsgarden #iowa #midwest #weather #friday #gardening #nature

Saturday, 28 September: a trip to the vegetable garden produced these beauties. BLT’s, anyone? #vegetables #tomatoes #ptsgarden #iowa #midwest #nature #gardening

#thankfulthursday Prep your pumpkins: wash & dry the pumpkin. Then spray pumpkin with cheap hair spray—-the cheaper, the better. The hairspray will seal the pumpkin from decaying & give a beautiful shine. #pumpkins #ptsgarden #gardening #iowa #midwest #autumn

Morning sunlight on the apple tree. May you have a wonderful day. #morning #gardening #ptsgarden #iowa #midwest #apples #nature

My fellow Iowans: Our vote is important. I’ve voted this week for: -civility -women’s rights -diversity & inclusion -love -respect -public schools & the 94% of Iowa’s children who attend them I’m tired of the name-calling & hatefulness. Manure is for the#garden. #vote !
