My calendula plants are doing amazingly well despite the gift of clay soil I gave it this spring. I snip them every week, sometimes several times, and still, they brighten up my flowerbeds with vibrant orange and yellow. The object is---DON'T let them go to seed!!! So I have screens of them drying, petals in anything edible that can stand it and jars of infusing oils on my windowsill.
And, not that this has anything to do with calendula---but is worth celebrating nonetheless....I finally *FINALLY* finished weeding, haying and thinning the carrots! I handed the thinnings to the children who took turns nibbling them like rabbits and when I was done, I whooped! (I can't imagine what the roofers next door were thinking...) There is only ONE more big job in the garden before the little, daily weed pluckings and that is doing the same thing as was done to the carrots, except to the beets. But THAT day, I will get lovely beet greens with dinner as a reward.
Happy Friday to you all and have a great weekend!

Gorgeous! You're having a good summer!
Gorgeous salad!! :) Sorry that I've been scarce...we are finishing up 5 Day Club at our farm!
Such beautiful pictures! Calendula has become a very special flower to me as it is the birth flower for October, the month we lost our twins. When we get moved into the house by the barn I am going to plant a big patch of it to use in salves and such.
And hooray for thinned and weeded carrots! You have a great weekend,too. :D
that salad looks heavenly!!!!
