My little harvest

2011-07-15T14:52:00.001-07:00

Well this is actually the first little harvest. There is a second I have not photographed yet. But they were yummy!

This is my little veggie garden. There are Cherry Tomatoes, regular tomatoes, cherry peppers, green peppers, and a lone random sunflower which is my favorite flower.. don't know where it came from. I also have eggplant with blossoms but they keep falling off.

My Succulent Arrangement

I had these plants separately in pots and I put them together in this one large pot I have had for awhile. I hope they play well together.

More yard update!

I didn't grow the little furry plant on the left but I feed and water it every day.. It's called Barkley! He is contemplating the impossible dream... catching a squirrel.

The plant below is really a pretty pink and green. Very Lacy.

My herb garden, basil, mint, cilantro, lavender and more basil. There is also a stripey tomato plant.

Been a Long Time

I have not posted for awhile but I have still been planting thangs. Here are some recent plantings. The Canna plant on the left was almost dead. It was still in the pot through our very cold winter. The tomato plant has three varieties of tomato.

The orangy plant to the left above is Vinca.. I forget what the feathery one is.

The Flower patch under the palmetto tree has several varieties of annuals.

A funky succulent. I don't know what it is but it was a lot smaller when I got it.

This is my yard after all the rain.

My Little Tomato

2009-03-01T17:41:00.001-08:00

I planted late but I got 4 tomatoes in all. Even with the frosty weather.

Some cool looking dead morning glories and squash blossoms.

Okra and other delicacies...

I think this is Corn and Beans... one of the three sisters? What do I know? The other sister is squash? I only know what my kid tells me.

Well I know this one is corn...

My Daughter...The Real Gardener

This is Nicole after we took a five day road trip...after seeing her husband and the doggies, she headed right for the garden! She has her priorities!

These are some tomatoes I planted. Evidently, I planted too many and then did not give them enough sun because I am told that they are "leggy". I transplanted about 8 of them into bigger pots and put them in the sunlight. We will see what happens. It was just an experiment after all. I haven't grown a vegetable since the bean in elementary school where we learned about cotyledons.. I like that word. I hope I remembered it correctly. You may NOT laugh at my tomato planting skills!!!

Ferns

Ferns -these are called Macho Ferns! Hmmmm.....

I love succulents..

2008-09-14T16:18:00.000-07:00

These are from IKEA. They were cheap! Succulents are squishy.. that's a botanical term, I'm sure.

Succulents

2008-09-14T16:16:00.000-07:00

Also from IKEA. I love succulents. They are squishy. I think that is a bottanical term. I took botany in college. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Banana Trees

2008-09-14T16:14:00.000-07:00

This is two varieties of banana trees. The little sweet sugar bananas and ruby red bananas. I don't like banana's but I like the trees. They are really pretty and grow nicely.

Around the deck

2008-09-14T16:08:00.000-07:00

These are alocasia and another hawaiian little shrub with yellow flowers. I can't remember the name of it.. come on menopausal mind.. ahhhhhhh IXORA. I used to have a great memory.

The Doorstep

2008-09-14T16:06:00.000-07:00

Various little plantlets from IKEA in the entrance. The two that are in the matching pots are called ZZ plants. I likez them a lot!

2008-09-14T16:02:00.000-07:00

Angels Trumpets, Purple Shield and Calydiums..and a frilly thing I don't know the name of. Anybody that knows, feel free to educate me. It was a sweltering hot day and most of the plants were none to happy.. and I totally understand that. UGH!

The Basics are in....

Here are the photos of my yard as it is now. I am pretty happy with the progress but more to go! The more the merrier... This big monster was here when I moved in. I don't think it can die!
