awesome = garden

the sink's been clogged for a couple of weeks, so cooking has taken a backseat. i'm playing in the yard instead~

i'm growing BERRIES this year

blackberries and raspberries by the shed.
blueberries in the front yard

ornamental strawberries in a pot on the stoop
last years strawberries gone wild in their bed

there's also a jasmine growing by the front door that makes me smile every time i smell it, and that Mexican Orange (?) that is leggy and irritating, but man it smells good and attracts the bees. 

finally, there's a barely hanging on lemon tree which must have rooted into something toxic or rock-like, which is now surrounded by nasturtiums i started from seeds. i fertilized the rose bushes with compost, too, just in time for their first big yellow bloom.

huzzah!
