2010 Garden

We have a little water garden! I didn't get any photos of it before the raccoons got at the fish, unfortunately. We're down from 10 to 1 fish left. I'm still debating whether to get more (they're just little mosquito fish.) Anyway, it looked great, with the irises and dwarf papyrus. It's starting to come back now, but if I ever catch those darn raccoons, they're in big trouble!

My favourite roses in the garden - they smell divine!
Another rose, smells good too ;)
Finally got the shade garden finished. Lots of hostas. I moved two of the ferns (a maidenhair and another (ostrich? male? wood? not sure)) and am still on the search for the elusive toad lily.
An here's this year's garden! We started very late, but planted:

Seeds:
- peas, bush beans, broccoli, pumpkin, carrots

Starter plants:
- cucumbers, zucchini, brussels sprouts

This was 1.5 weeks ago (freshly planted)

And after a week of super hot (30+ degrees) weather, we have sprouts!
Broccoli!

Pumpkin
Check out these beans!
Tiny little pea sprouts

July 2010 Photos (so far!)

The nice weather is finally here, and I'm happy to say we've managed to get out and enjoy it. Aside from my three weeks of lingering flu symptoms, which is finally clearing up!

Remember those shark teeth? We lost one! The adult ones are still coming up behind, but they should start moving forward. The other front tooth is also quite loose.
