A Red Neck and Green Thumb

The Lilacs has a budding garden. We have permission from the landlord to do some planting. We converted part of a flower garden to herbs (rosemary, curry plant, sage, thyme, oregano, mint (mojitos!), and parsely. In the back corner of the lawn, I converted lawn to garden and there we have strawberries, 6 kinds of lettuce, one horseradish, 5 tomato plants, and 2 pepper plants. That bare spot is where the Phase 2 peppers are going to go if they ever sprout... In another patch, we have watercress growing strong and fast.


In the picture you see our next phase, the plants and herbs from seed. Here you can see basil and dill coming right along like good little English herbs (pronounce the 'h', please!). Hot peppers and banana peppers haven't sprouted yet... they might be duds!

Rachel let me know yesterday she ordered more stuff for us (us?) to plant. Berries and stuff. We might not want to leave once we get all this growing. And, conditions here seem better for a garden then for us -- lots of rain!
