Sunday Morning

Yesterday was spent all day in the yard - re weeding the weidelia that was growing back on the side of the yard. once that was done, we reseeded with grass seed and put down the rest of our bird netting. hopefully that'll stop the vultures from eating our seeds. 

then we cleaned up and made room for the Pumpkin, 


Watermellon (seeded yesterday), Squash, sweet potatoes, purple basil, and stevia. There may even be a few sunflower seeds thrown in for good measure. 


these boxes have strawberries, ghost peppers w. , Swiss chard, bok choi and 2 trypes of kale. 

 here we are trying to make use of a very very rockey soil/area. part of it is under the house so it's dry and gets little/no rain. Today will be spent adding a drip system to those areas that don't get any water.

we planted a devils claw - which is flowering now. the flowers look like purple orchid flowers. 


not sure of the purple/pink plant next to it and WAAAY in the corner we planted the edible hibiscus. 


the part that gets rain from time to time, will be prepped for cilantro, peppers, chives and such. 


our glass corn has really grown. it even has tassels at the top. but I don't see any silk yet. 


Diane is very happy with her sunflowers that are blooming along the fence.
