dreaming of spring

Winter is not my season, folks.  If not for the invention of down everything and SmartWool, I would be pretty miserable.  I discovered these photos taken by a neighbor of our house and garden last summer for an East Point website, and it's given me hope that warm weather, green leaves, and flowers are not too far away.

vegetable and herb gardens

Two pepper plants and a grape tomato plant. They've grown since this photo and the tomato is starting to bloom.
Our raised vegetable beds. To the far left you can see a brick-lined bed where Brandon planted canteloupe, watermelon, crookneck squash, and zucchini. The raised bed on the left has tomatoes (Better Boy, Roma, and Rutgers) and basil planted in between. In the bed on the right, we planted radishes, carrots, lettuce, red onions, banana peppers, and bell peppers.

Our herb garden with garlic, oregano, lavender, thyme, sage, parsley, cilantro, and basil. This is where the old acuba shrub was that we dug out. We hope to put another bed farther down the walkway soon.
