Our very first pepper from seed!
Pumpkin blossoms.
Spanish flag/nasturtiums: the spanish flag has yet to bloom, but it's growing like crazy.
Dahlia's, from bulb.
Nasturtiums are my favorite discovery--the leaves look like lily pads and the blooms like colored stars. Delightful.
This cute little deck is actually a sandbox.
Designed by yours truly, implemented by husband. It still needs staining, but seriously looks so much better than the previous structure that we tore down. BTW, this deck/sandbox is built almost entirely from the "repurposed" wood that the old thing was made out of.
Wow! I still can't get over how much better it looks. Husband is amazing!
This is not a church bulletin copy: it is a real true morning glory. They didn't sprawl over our cinderblock walls like I had hoped, but we learned a trick from some friends so next year looks likely for that. Oh, from SEED!
Zinnia--from seed!
Forgot the name of these--from a tray at walmart.
Hydrangeas, given to me last summer from church for playing the piano. They were blue when we first got them. The first time they bloomed outside this summer they were pink. And have since faded into a comfortable green.
In line with Ten Thousand's Wake's quoting C.S. Lewis' Paradise Lost Preface, I will add another paraphrasical quote: Eden is a place in every man's mind that we must visit often and long for. I feel that when we garden. I wish I had time to wax poetical and stuff but like, we are learning to share around here and that means a lot of supervision. Not pictured: all the herbs from Scarbarough Fair and my 4 ft high fennel. From Seed people. No one is more shocked than me. Husband, thank you for all the work you put into this and how much fun it was!
