Yellow Heirloom Cherry Tomato The first ripe tomatoes never made it through the back door. We popped them in our mouth …straight off the vine. That’s one of the benefits of a chemical free back yard garden. You know for a fact that there isn’t a single chemical […]
Thai Basil The herbs are doing beautifully. So, we decided to add 2 Thai Basil, 2 Sicilian Oregano, and 2 Mother of Thyme (AKA Creeping Thyme).
Sicilian Oregano
Wild Mountain Mint …gorgeously mingling with purple violas […]
The First Two Roma Tomatoes! My husband accused me of artistic shenanigans. Not true, I swear. Those water droplets are all natural. Now, that’s not to say I might not use poetic license in the future with a spritz of water here or a mist […]
Portia The Devil Dog …posing with her kill of 3 tomatoes plus 2 buds just starting to flower.
Are we done here? Unapologetic, she’s ready to spring off and cause more distruction. What disaster will her next rampage cause? […]

They might give the Kentucky Derby a run for its money. But, we already know the true winner. Final Garden Addition: April 27th, 2011 | Category: Food, Fruit, Garden, Vegetables | Leave a comment
We’ve lived in quasi-peace with the squirrels, so far. As far as rodents are concerned, they aren’t unbearably repulsive. We try not to grumble (too much) when they eat 75% of the bird seed… or, knock over the bird bath… or, stick their dirty little tongues in the hummingbird feeders. […]
Bonfire Peach Blossoms The Bonfire peach and black mission fig trees have successfully made it through the winter. And, they appear to be thriving with new growth on every limb. The Kadota fig isn’t quite that lucky. It might appear down, but, it’s fighting for […]
Angel Face
Olympiad
Mojave On previous Valentine’s Days, we’ve purchased many (many) cut roses only to watch them slowly die. This year, we decided to celebrate the occasion by purchasing rose bushes. With a little bit of luck, […] |
