En Garde(n)!

I firmly believe that as human beings and souls existing in at least one plane on planet Earth, we should be required to grow things. Food, flowers, lucky bamboo, whatever. It feels good. Try it. I am new to growing, this is only my 3rd garden. I’m still going real small, trying to learn it. Boyee this Georgia clay ain’t no joke neither!

These are pictures of when I first planted the garden, in the last week of April, 2009 – I planted late this year, using saplings. Next year I plan to prepare the soil 2 months in advance and plant seeds, albeit earlier.

In the front yard - perhaps getting too much sun.

Tomatoes (4 Variations)
Bell Peppers (Red and Green)
Herbs (Chives, Boxwood and Lemon Basil, Sage)
Strawberries
Lavender
Hot Peppers (Jalapeno, Serrano, Habanero)
Georgia Collard Greens
Zucchini
Marigolds

Shiyet let's take a stroll through the garden out this beyitch!

Holler at my Collards!

Now Zucchini, Now Zu Don't!

Habanero Peppers will melt your face off!

The profile view . . .

I can think of at least one more herb I'd like to grow.

Living lavish with the Lavender
