Random Garden Shots

I could look at our garden all day long...but looking just doesn't get the work done. So clippers come out to deadhead, rakes to clean up debris, buckets of waste to the compost pile and the list goes on...but in the end this "work" really isn't work and being amongst the flowers is even better than just looking. it really is true if you do something you love, it really isn't work.

A look at the herb garden bed...chives, oregano, spearmint, peppermint, scented geraniums, several varieties of sage, tarragon, basil, parsley (flat and curly), dill, lots of thyme, cilantro and rosemary. The annual herbs are just starting to grow...they need some sunny hot days to flourish.
Tomatoes are budded and some are blooming. Just staked them so now they will really grow...tomatoes are vines after all...planted several new varieties this year...black russian, great white, lemon pear as well as old time favorites san marzano, delicious, green zebra, german striped and more...looking forward to this crop!

Angel keeping a watch over a corner of the garden.

A lovely agave in a turn of the century granite urn...the mate flanks the other side of the bench...as testament of all the rain we have been getting, little mushrooms grow under the pot.

Looking forward to more days in the garden and picking tomatoes...sooner rather than later!!!!!
