Space Competition

It's nice waking up everyday and attends to the garden, now that there are plenty of flowering plants in bloom such as: dahlias in burgundy, yellow, pink, lilac colors and the two clematis in violet and pink colors are still growing more buds and never run out of flowers. Flowers from veggies: cucumber and zucchinis are also a delight to see. There are plenty of loganberry flowers and ripe berries to pick. The raspberries are also ripe for picking. The lone  eggplant is suffocated by the growth of zucchini plants and cucumber. The bean plants (dragon tongue) keeps climbing up and its tendrils on the fence now. One lone potato plant suddenly appeared beside it and unknown plant that looks like having cantaloupe's leaves also prominent in competition with the rest of the tomato plants and cabbages. They are in competition when it comes to space at the veggie bed.

It's fun to have a garden no matter how small our garden. More fun when it's time to harvest some of the vegetables. Joyous end result that our hard work has paid off. It was an accomplishment in itself when it's harvest time.

The sunflowers are almost over the fence, over 5 ft. in height. Sad to say those black ants never go away and another visitors seem to like the sunflowers' leaves. At first one and then two bumble bees on top of the sunflower plants then additional bees swarm to join the two bees. OMG! WTH! Are sunflowers loveable and sweet even without flowers yet these "visitors" are nuisance already. Heh! Only ten bees! That's a swarm already. I know some scientists are happy to see something like this kind of  interaction especially because bees are pollinators. They are helpful in the pollination of flowering plants. These insects are helpful in the propagation of plants. Maybe they need this kind of interaction so that sunflowers can bloom its flowers right away instead of waiting a longer period of time.

Just watching those hairy insects and hairy plants are too painful for me to bear. Allergies! Yuck. My husband said that's probably caused by pollens. Yeah, pollens are contributors too for allergy. I told you before that there are cottonwood trees that had those fluffy cottons in the air before. Then another allergy-causing flowers are everywhere in the island. It's that time of the year when ash trees started blooming its flowers like manna. When the wind blows those ash tree flowers are all over, everywhere, up in the air, on the ground. We are surrounded by hundreds of ash trees with millions of flowers. I want to post some photographs of those ash trees but my blog is having a problem at this point in time. ( have to draft this composition for now).

So whenever I'm out of the house, at the yard have to wear sunglasses to protect my eyes. My eyes are twitchy for quite sometime due to pollen allergy. It feels like I'm suffering from tourette syndrome. It feels like because of the symptoms. Darn! I hope it's not caused by tick. Hmm, my hands are not trembling or shaking uncontrollably so it's not tick bites. Add those bugs around as if their long hibernation has ended and at summer time when the weather temperature is hot those bugs are happy to get out and have their annoying habit of buzzing and swarming at humans. I have to remember not to apply any kind of lotion or perfume on my body. The fragrance or lotion and any kind of scents can attract bugs, any kind of bugs. Speaking of good grooming, I take a bath twice a day, maybe the kind of soap and shampoo I'm using is an attraction and magnet to those garden bugs.

Now you wonder why too many kids have problem, having learning disabilities (Tourette syndrome, Autism, ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia) because of the sometime chaotic environment. The island is surrounded by forest, by millions of trees, and millions and billions of plants of all kinds. When you are surrounded by millions upon millions of trees and different kinds of plants and vegetation then bugs of all kinds are there too because that's their natural habitat. We are not in the metropolitan-urban community. The island is an arable farmlands. That many children, even adults are sufferers or suffering from those disabilities I mentioned above. Now you know why so many kids do not go outside and most of the time stay inside their homes. There are certain time of the year when it's not good to get out of the house but because there are fun events during the First Of July which is Canada Day that is an "exception to the rule."

HAPPY 152nd BIRTHDAY CANADA!
