I do grow edible fruits and veggies, will post pics of my veggie garden shortly.The last picture is of Colocasia. Yam is actually the common name for some species in the genus Dioscorea grown for their starchy tubers. These are perennial herbaceous vines , whereas Colocasia are upright plants with large leaves, commonly known as Elephant ears.<BR/>Dear Andrea, India's is such a big country that you have drought and floods existing together, but, I am having neither of that in my part. Here the weather Gods seem confused, at times it pours and then days pass by without clouds making an appearance. Officially it is the rainy season!<BR/>Welcome Iowa gardening woman and Layanee! Thanks for your nice words.<BR/>Nicole: this is indeed an edible variety of colocasia growing in my kitchen garden. It will be ready for consumption in about a month time.<BR/>Dear Annie, its pure ecstasy to have thundershowers after hot dry spell and icing on the cake is to see my little one gettting drenched.<BR/>Thanks dear Kate, you are ever so kind with your words.<BR/>Those tall trees are Eucalyptus trees, dear Wicked gardener.<BR/>Welcome Libby's blog! I've seen your elephant ear collection on your blog.Its truly amazing. your Brugmansia look great too.<BR/>Thanks dear Wild life gardener for recommending me for Bloggers For Positive Global Change.It feels great.Green thumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02985557905470748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-37279519478837880992007-07-14T00:34:00.000-07:002007-07-14T00:34:00.000-07:00How wonderful to have the rain bring your garden t...How wonderful to have the rain bring your garden to life and to experience the wonder of it all through the innocent eyes of your beautiful daughter.<BR/><BR/>I have recommended you for a new award called Bloggers For Positive Global Change.

It is so obvious when I see the growth of the Colacasia. Those are amazing. <BR/><BR/>And then there are the mushrooms. I hope some truffles spring up in your garden one day.<BR/><BR/>Here's to less high temperatures for you and more rain!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-52808075577707603992007-07-10T19:08:00.000-07:002007-07-10T19:08:00.000-07:00You really captured the way it feels when a long, ...You really captured the way it feels when a long, hot, dry spell is broken by a storm... don't you almost feel giddy with delight once the air changes, Green thumb? <BR/><BR/>It's great to see your daughter enjoying the rain~<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-92038109702495606102007-07-09T07:09:00.000-07:002007-07-09T07:09:00.000-07:00Those first few images of the rain are wonderful-v...Those first few images of the rain are wonderful-very atmospheric.How lucky is your lovely daughter, to have this garden wonderland to play in and explore, she looks like she enjoys. <BR/>Those colocasia leaves look lovely-is this an edible variety? In Trinidad we cook several edible varieties-leaves and tubers-including curried tubers (called eddoes)and pigeon peas. We have 3 types of edible tubers in the Caribbean- tannia ( my favourite), eddoes and dasheen.Tirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253130857755408695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-17795508075210746562007-07-07T19:14:00.001-07:002007-07-07T19:14:00.001-07:00Green thumb: Sometimes, I am ginger!Green thumb: Sometimes, I am ginger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275369479742345722.post-1121043385541583952007-07-07T19:14:00.000-07:002007-07-07T19:14:00.000-07:00It seems that the appreciation of rain lives!
