Well things are coming along around here. Here is a pink oriental poppy.

The next picture shows 6 tomato plants in large cage made of concrete reinforcing wire. In the center is buried a large olla, an unglazed clay pot. By filling the pot with water, it gradually seeps into the soil around it.

gardenapril09-008A yummy cauliflower.
gardenapril09-0112wow, look how big the potatoe plants have gotten!
gardenapril09-014They aren’t amber yet, but here’s my ‘waves of grain’. This is winter wheat heading out.
gardenapril09-016Here’s a little baby apple. this tree was mislabeled in the nursery so I’m not sure what it is. I just know it’s _not_ the Granny Smith I though it was.
gardenapril09-019More purple peas. These however are the Sweet Magnolia, a purple sugar snap pea from Peace Seeds.
