When you can't garden, well garden anyway...

The garden here is about 6 weeks old and full of tomatoes and other good stuff. It's amazing to see what was planted in the 4-hour period we had to cultivate and plant the garden. Soozie is a wizard with a cultivator, she's a hard worker. The garden was carved out, dropped in and then off to the old place to pick up another load with the moving van--across two states.

With every other thing that needs to be done around here, we've not been able to carve out time to make the garden bigger. So after some discussion, it was decided to use containers. They are strewn about on the side deck and east lawn border. And the containers are of the "all sorts" category. Reused pots, buckets, tubs, baskets of all sizes.

What's in those containers--basil - lots of it, onions, lettuce, dill, cabbage, brussels sprouts, mints, lemon thyme, summer savory, rosemary, strawberries, cilantro, parsley. Lovely...
