oasis

We went back to the garden again today... such an amazing oasis of greenery and growth in a neighborhood of concrete and decay.

The garden has made such an incredible transformation from when we first visited in May.


Above is our actual garden plot... actually we share the plot. This front half is ours. Clara had already pulled our carrots, but they were right there at the front. Next are our zinnias. Our crazy out of control cosmos are right behind... they are absolutely HUGE but have yet to have flowered. Sandwiched between those two are two pepper plants that lost the battle for sunlight. On the right side are two of our basil plants - cinnamon and lemon. Then tied to the big blue pole are our out of control tomato plants. They are seriously out for full garden domination... we have them semi-reined in with lots of twine. On the other side are our regular basil plants which aren't doing too well due the size (and shadow) of the tomato jungle we've got going on.







That's it for now! I have the day to myself tomorrow so I'll work on a longer post then!

'nite!
