PaD #7: garden

okay, I have to admit, I'm slightly obsessed with my cucumbers. it's the first time I'm growing them, and they've been a very satisfying addition to my small, seasonal, container garden. there are about 8 or 9 little fruits ripening on the vines, with many pretty yellow flowers, and the trellis makes a nice privacy screen between my neighbor and I. we also planted lettuces, radishes, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, rosemary, and flowers.  the lettuces are doing great, the radishes were superb, but are all gone now, the broccoli bolted but we've gotten a few small florets, the tomatoes oddly haven't flowered at all, the peppers keep flowering but not producing fruit, the rosemary is gorgeous, the flowers are lovely, and I believe I've already covered the cucumbers...






my son also planted some lemon seeds (he'd plant every seed and pit of every fruit he ate, if I let him), which seem to be doing quite well, I'm happy to say...



the sexy shots of my beautiful pansies, I love them so!

...and this is my garden helper, Petey : )

    Wow, you've got a far greener thumb than I've got - very impressive! If you've been to my blog recently you'll know that I finally managed to keep something alive, at least :).

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.
