[i][c=BF0080]My baby plants.. I think 5 different tomato varieties, a baby cucumber, a couple of red peppers(skipped the hot this year b/c I wasn鈥檛 using them so much last year), basil, oregano, parsley, mint, chocolate mint, rosemary, lavender, marigolds everywhere, humming bird flowers I think it is that my neighbor gave me seeds for 馃 and I think that鈥檚 it besides my front garden of regular plants in the ground.

My basil is thriving,got my first batch of pesto last week.win. I saved this one Chinese Lantern thing that I got from Mike when we dug up his septic tank by moving it to a pot in back out of the shade,so that feels good,it was touch and go for a while. My dwarf Meyer Lemon is struggling and I'm not happy with that.I killed my awesome one trying to move it when the previous neighbor put in this huge stupid fence,apparently you need to dig way deeper than I did to transplant those.Now I get it. My war with the Ivy on the east side was won,finally,with a neat new stone patio space and 2 tomatoes as showpieces,also a tall blossoming onion and a red geranium that washed up in the flood. In other news,the new neighbors will learn how much debris their fancy fence will be trapping next time the river rises. I grew potatoes and garlic in the wine barrels that are now too shady for tomatoes,looking pretty good.I have another barrel and planter box begging for spinach or lettuce...we'll see if I get around to that. What else...? succulents,catcti,some assorted fancy flowers I forget the names of.Oh,and the Calla Lillies went berserk this year to reward me for destroying that massive English Ivy encroachment.I think I killed the grapevine in the process,but it looks cool anyway.Maybe it will rally and surprise me. Oh,and my rosemary is over 10 feet tall-yowzah.
@MellyMel22 It looks better than ever. I got halfway cleared out nicely on the west side and gave up,though. I had the backyard fully cleared and mostly free of blackberries,put in an ace little firepit and had it looking quite civilized.Then I was like,ok,I'm on a roll,now I fix up those poor neglected drums,which got discouraging,so now they sit in piles in the rain next to another broken weed wacker.But yeah,the one side is kind of a showpiece. Plus I found a nice chunk of petrified wood and a huge maybe 3lb leopardskin jasper digging at work building a retaining wall and thusly my rock walls remain the finest on the block.
