telophase | Garden pics

myrialux was getting tired of the fountain filling with leaves and dirt, and I was tired of it becoming a haven for mosquito larvae, so we got the lawn guys to clean it out once more, then threw a big tarp over it and weighted it down with bricks. No idea how it'll last in the wind, but for now we have a large green pyramid in the side yard.

Onions! And some sort of perennial in the background and off to the left, neither of which were there when I planted the onions, but which have been growing at a fast clip!

Some of our impressive potato plants. Here's hoping we actually get some potatoes before the heat hits. So far, 15 of the 16 potato pieces I planted have sprouted.

Peas, climbing up their poles!

A closer-up shot of two peapods.

The strawberry plant that was showing so much promise the last time I posted pics of the garden is as dead as a doornail after I forgot to water it twice. So we got two more strawberries, a different variety this time, and here's one. Rather nibbled-on, though.

And the dill.

The chives. I need to harvest some soon.

The other new strawberry, much less nibbled-on, and the latest potato plant to emerge. I'd forgotten I planted the potato there when we planted the strawberry. :)

The two tomato plants, the bell pepper (foreground, and the sweet cayenne hiding under one of the tomatoes. And a random vine that seems to like growing here.
