sage and basil. basil is finally kickin it. anyone want some sage??
eggplants and peppers have exploded. these are from organic seeds too! shove it up yer arses, GMOs!
sweet italian peppers. waiting for their redness.
BOO YEAH. EGGPLANT.
the back garden looks like this. the overall theme is "struggle for survival". shade is a no-no. I have yet to learn that lesson.
BUT whaddo we got here? It's a summer squash, mthrfckrs. YOU'VE GOT TWO WEEKS SQUASH. DO IT.
and yep! cucumbers! might even have enough for one jar of pickles before the frost. one jar. thanks garden. thanks a lot.
and my purple carrots are actually making carrots!! a rabbit hangs out with me when I garden, and I let him eat the sad lettuce and nibble on the carrots. we're like that because we're friends. I can get about a foot away from him before he's like "uhhh... yer creepy" and runs away. vera named him "bugs bugs".
BLUE-PODDED PEAS IN YOUR FACE. There's only about three pods so far, but I've witnesses the miracle of them and next year I'm doing them again.
all of the tomatoes are doing awesome, but the silver fir heirlooms are really fun. the plants cannot be tamed. just like me, so we totally get each other. I'll post pics of the golden ones and PURPLE ones (black princes) once they've got some colour and are more interesting to look at.
So yeah, that's how my garden's growin. Annnd FUN GARDEN NEWS: we're moving (again), which at first sounds crummy, but get this: Oct 1st, we're moving to a house just at the end of our block, on a HUUUGE corner lot. Massive fenced in yards, awesome deck, double garage, fire pit, garden shed... and they gave me the okay to dig out a small garden. There is a perfect, sheltered, sunny spot in the northwest corner, and I'm gonna work it HARD. I'm really excited. And after this, NO MORE MOVING. Seriously. We've moved too goddamn much. This place is worth it though. It's perfect and a sweet deal. Can't wait!!
