dappled afternoon shadows plays across pineapple sage, allyssum, and rosemaryit's long overdue: time to start posting new garden pics. I would have had some up sooner, but gophers made a meal out of my first garden arrangement. This necessitated quick transfer of valuable survivors to pots. A hard day's work with Justin in March lead to the establishment of a flower/herb garden in front of the fence (at last!), but the interior still languishes, waiting patiently for more fuscias, dicentra, and fern to fill its shady ranks with gopher-unfriendly greens. Photos of the windowbox will have to wait until it fills out a bit.
chives at the gate, how green are these lawns?
fresh peas! blossom still attached (just how i like 'em)
how gorgeous is this african blue basil? dark new leaves, chartreuse mature leaves, purple flowers
this jasmine smells intense! it's growing over an inch a week!
the front garden, somewhat more filled in: rosemary, chives, lavendar, pineapple sage, ranunculus, jasmine, allyssum
these will be tomatoes one day. and then we will eat them.
my hardworking assistant
i spy lavendar and chives
mint finds a sunny spot by the door.
i hope eventually to house many of the herbs herbs in brightly-coloured hanging pots like this
the heat has made us tired - au revoir!

I'm a particular fan of Lavender too having two plants in my little garden. There is nothing better than rubbing the plant and then sniffing the odour on one's fingers.
