Also, belated garden pics!
Also, a few weeks back I took some pictures of my garden.
First up, my Arizona grape vine. We planted it last fall, hoping it would make it over the winter. Turns out it did, and is doing well. The plan is to get it up the wall, and then along the top as a privacy screen.
My tomato trellis! Two cherry and two regular. They're from starts that my CEO does every year. I've got some melons coming up on either side that I'm hoping the get to go up the trellis as well.
Bok Choy! It was tasty, and has been replanted. Nom.
Endive! I've been cutting it back for salads, and it just keeps coming back, threatening the take over the entire box. It's a bit spicy, like watercress.
Snap Peas! They've started flowering in the past couple of days. I've planted a few more squares, and am hoping to can them at some point.
Slacker spinach. It took almost six weeks to get that tall. Since then it's managed to get big enough to pick a few leaves at a time, but seriously? It needs to grow up and move out.
An overview of the back garden. It's all grown since this was taken, some squares harvested and replanted. Not shown is the garlic mashed potatoes plot, off beside the house.
Finally, the front flower and herb garden, mostly from starts, bulbs and a few things that survived the winter. We though it would be fun to grow some catnip, but Junpei ate the entire plant within a few minutes of finding it. He wasn't quite right for a day or two afterward.
