Friday in the Garden

We have had an entire week of no rain!  Amazing!  It is so wonderful to be out in the garden.

The greens are looking good, and tasting yummy too.  The sugar snap peas in the back should start producing soon.  I'm looking forward to that.

This bed is eggplant, peppers, cilantro, dill, and basil.  The sticks are to keep out the cats.

The neighborhood cats, including my Rose, have been using the tomato beds as a litter box.  That was before I put the sticks in.  They really do work!  I have some large, decorative grasses in the front yard.  When I prune them back in the early spring, I save the canes to use in the garden.

My secret garden is starting to come together, bit by bit.  That's one of my potato bags in the foreground.  I thought the green would kind of blend in, but now I'm thinking they look a little like garbage cans!  Maybe when the potato foliage is cascading out, they might look better.

I have iris this year!  Last year they didn't bloom.  This year they are splendid.

I ran across this bottle garden on flickr and decided to try it myself.  I figure I should put my drinking problem to good use.  Just in case you are wondering, my drinking problem is that I can't drink anymore.  Or barely.  My body never lets me have any fun:(

DH loves him some horseradish, so I picked some up.  I still have to decide where to put it and the summer savory.  Have any of you grown horseradish?  Are there tricks I should know?  As you can see, I really need to pay more attention to detail in my photo styling;)

Hope you all had a wonderful week and will have an even more wonderful weekend!  See you Monday!
