Garden Gloves

I have been on a quest for new garden gloves since my beloved pair of suede gloves starting really falling apart. I did find new suede gloves and bought two pairs, but I recently needed gloves with grip for some sailing I was doing and found these at my favorite nursery in Seattle, Sky Nursery! They do not breathe real well, but the grip is amazing and they fit my hands nicely! Apart from the non-breathable aspect, these are some really fantastic gloves! 

My Bletilla bloomed while I was away and is still in bloom!

These indoor orchids also bloomed while I was away!

This mystery plant has been confirmed as cilantro! It's huge! Will have to move this to the back soon! 

Saw this arrangement at the Valholl Brewery in Poulsbo, WA and thought it was pretty! 

Found this beautiful shrub at Sky Nursery!

On my trip to Seattle this month I picked up a few plant related items! I know, shocking, right? ;) I had been seeing people on my hot pepper group use these grow bags for their plants. Well I found one with a similar idea, except more breatheable (the others were plastic) at my favorite place, Sky Nursery! I thought I would give it a try and got a 5 gallon size. I also picked up seeds of two different types of pumpkins, milkweed and edamame seeds. The edamame and Japanese pumpkin seeds I got at Uwajimaya. I figured they ought to be authentic enough! Can't wait to try these out next year!

My corn is finally flowering!

I forget what types of bean this is...pole bean? Anyhow, they were fresh, tender and delicious in the pot roast I made yesterday!
