My Garden: The good, the bad, and the ugly


THE GOOD


Color!




Stand tall, future sunflowers...




Really hoping lots of yellow flowers = lots of cherry tomatoes!




First gardening success: heathy cilantro!




Come on basil, you can do it!




Things are looking hopeful!




Front yard: newly landscaped!




It took about a month for the hummingbirds to realize it was here. They discovered it, apparently.




The neighbor's orchids. I can dream, can't I?




The most thoughtful guy in the world brought me this lovely table on which to rest my morning book and coffee.



THE BAD

Pulling for Mr. Cucumber & buddy. Pretty crappy soil and hungry insects to overcome. But I believe they'll prevail against the odds.


THE UGLY


Damn raccoons.

  1. The plants look wonderful Ms. K, and I have some compost tea for Buddy when you are ready . . . he can sit at the lovely blue table already set with his tea cup =)

    Pretty pictures, thanks for sharing!

  2. Crop Doctor, thanks for the kind words. On "The Ugly," the green circular object just above the Newman's Own lemonade carton is a totally green moldy orange!
