My Suburban Jungle

It all started with a bunch of wild flower seeds. And maybe I did throw in a tad too much Cosmos seeds in the mix. After all, I always did have trouble getting them to grow. Not this year - they have taken over my garden. They are only supposed to grow 2 - 4 feet, but there's a few in my garden that are taller than me and still growing. Good thing they are pretty. Somewhere in my suburban jungle there is also lavender, basil, rosemary, bell peppers and three tomato plants. I'll send a search party out for them in the morning.

I love these markers, and they are SO appropriate:











I have a couple more snapshots here:

First Tomato

You can't convince me a Roma is not a beautiful thing. I've been fighting grasshoppers & cicadas, now my garden is finally starting to make a comeback. Now if my peppers will get some blooms on them before it gets too hot we'll have the ultimate veggie of all - SALSA!
