The shade garden got a bit of a makeover {stones that we dug up when creating the garden beds}



Pretty purple flowers that I have no idea what they are called {does anyone know?}


Sweet basil {looking a little sad due to all the rain and attention from the ear wigs!}


Nasturtiums



Herbs packaged and ready for the Amelia Rising food bank! {pictured: peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, sweet basil, oregano, sweet marjoram, parsley, garden sage, tri coloured sage, pineapple sage, English thyme, rosemary, and cilantro.}

Oh everything is looking FANTASTIC!
My tomatoes aren't ripening yet, but I've figured out it was slugs that were making mine suffer. *shakes a fist at slugs* A pox upon ye, slugs!

You've got a real talent there, missy! My thumb is less than green, but I keep tryin! :D

I just noticed you posted a link to mah blog! Many thanks!! ^.^

Hurray for red tomatos! You are surely a green goddess.

Thanks everyone! :)

Medusae: you are most welcome and thanks for doing the same! And I am sure you are doing a splendid job...the nightshade toms are difficult for me to grow, even in the best of conditions!

Now if you are killing things like dandelions without even trying, then you are in trouble. ;)
