Vegie Views
Don't disturb the man when he's dissecting potatoes. Or when he's planting them. He has lots more planting to do. Potential food for food. A lonely little peach tree in an onion patch. Another view of the front/side garden.
Oh my, I'm so envious of your lovely big veggie patch. I keep begging BJ to build me a few raised beds and he promises he will, but I think that he means 'in his own good time', because it hasn't happened yet! Ah, well, I have my little plots until then. Your garden looks so fabulous, It looks like the kind of garden I'd love to share a cuppa in and chew the fat, so to speak!
One day, if I work really, really hard, my garden will look half as good as yours. Meanwhile I shall keep weeding and enjoying the chickweed...lol. PS Send DH my way - While Ashley helps, it is only after lots of nagging. Sigh!!
Suburbansider - the silver/grey leafed plant along the footpath is Arctotis. Very hardy, very drought tolerant, easy to grow and propogate. That particular one has deep burgundy flowers; also available in cream, pink, white, yellow and orange. I'll post some photos when it's in flower - there will be thousands of them.
Your gardens are beautiful! Very tidy and organized.
ReplyDeleteIsn't spring the most wonderful wonderful time of the year!
