vrt v juliju / our garden in July 2020

Ta mesec smo končali s preurejanjem dvorišča. Nekatere rože sem zaradi del na dvorišču posadila šele v začetku julija, zato so še vedno majhne. Sedaj cveti ameriški slamnik. Ker mi je zelo všeč, sem kupila nekaj sadik različnih barv.

We finished rearranging our front yard this month. Due to this works I've planted some flowers in the beginning of the month, but they are still small. In this time of the year Echinacea Purpurea is blooming. I like these flowers, so I've bought some more, but in different colour.

Pred hišo cveti sivka. Vonj je res poseben, pa tudi čebel je veliko.

A big lavender bush is blooming in front of our house. The scent of lavender is amazing.

Cvetijo tudi nekatere druge rože, čeprav so še majhne.

Also some other flowers are blooming, although they are still small.

Nekatere pridelke na zelenjavnem vrtu že pobiramo: grah, stročji fižol, paradajz, papriko...

We are harvesting some crops in vegetable garden: beans, garlic, green beans, tomatoes and peppers. 

Pred tremi leti sem kupila limon. Vsako leto julija odrežem majhno vejo (ne do konca, veja ostane povezana z drevesom) in jo posadim v majhen lonec. Tam se ukorenini. Konec poletja mali limon samostojno raste v loncu.

I've bought a lemon tree three years ago. Each year in July I cut a little branch (just a little, the branch remains attached to the tree) and plant it in a litlle pot. By the end of the summer the branch grows roots and a new little lemon tree can grow by itself.

Jabolka, kivi in našiji so že precej zrasli. Mi pa uživamo v obilju fig.

The apples, kiwi fruits and nashi pears are quite big. We and lots of birds enjoy figs.

Pravzaprav je dobro, če si julija na vrtu tudi malo odpočijemo. 

Anyway, July is meant to relax in the garden, too.
