03 June, 2008June in the little garden
Things are happening around my garden! It’s awesome to see things like these baby tomatoes which were just a little seed poked into the dirt back in March. These little guys are Mexico Midgets (from Seedsavers).
Beautiful nasturtiums. I absolutely love these orange flowers and their big, green lily pad leaves. Did you know you can eat the flowers? I sort of want to but I sort of just want to let them stay because they’re so pretty. Behind them are my chives, which are still blooming like a champ.
A fruit crate I got at the thrift store that turned into a planter. Here we have sweet potato vine, Mexican heather and one more which I can’t remember the name of at the moment!
Lemon balm, which is flourishing. And mint. Both plant swap scores.
Blueberries are ripening! There was also a blueberry casualty this week, when the kids who mow my (barely there) grass ran right over one, along with several other plants. Grrr. Someone owes me a free lawn mow, I think.
Marigolds (started these babies from seed too) and strawberries!
Another plant swap plant which is really happy. This is a primrose.
A little bug helped himself to my gooseneck loosestrife. Darn it.
My compost bin doing its thing. There’s some great lookin’ dirt in there. And about 50 oak trees. Anyone want one?

At least two berries survived ;) I like your compost bin! I'd never think to use a mesh one.
I love primrose. They'll grow like crazy.
Your garden looks amazing!! I'm inspired.
I'm reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma", and I've been thinking about asking my landlord if I could start a veggie garden and compost pile. In the meantime, I'm thinking of starting to grow some herbs in the little flowerpots near my window.
Your garden is beautiful. Sorry to hear about the Loosestrife, because you seem sad about it, however it may be a blessing in disguise. Loosestrife is a weed and it will take over your garden. It's roots are deep and they smother other plants. Sorry for pointing this out. It is one pretty weed though.
I'm so jealous! I'm just getting into gardening. My whole family is filled with women with amazing green thumbs and I've always felt like mine was black. But I'm working on learning as much as I can, I have a rose bush and a few other small things. Your garden looks amazing!!
The tomatoes sounds great, I haven't heard of that variety before.
I grew naturiums for the first time this year and I love them. Yours looks healthier than mine. I did try them on my salad they are little peppery.
congratulations on your hard work! i've been reading your blog for a while now(can't remember how i found it), and i'm inspired by your way of life. good luck with your upcoming wedding and marriage. you rock at life!
Wow, you have such a green thumb. I have to learn that everything is not to grow and that is okay. I need to try my hand a vegetable gardening.
Love the cookbook, thank you so much. I am still giggling that I actually won something.
Your garden is terrific!
Best wishes for your wedding tomorrow.
A lurker who loves your website.
Have fun tomorrow! Remember to eat, breathe, and to take it all in. I'm sure it will be wonderful though. Hurray for Jimmy and Amber!
Hope you are having a wonderful day! Thanks for sharing those garden photos with us.
Aahh...I am jealous. My plants are growing but no veggies yet. Little buggies are eating my leaves!
I hope your wedding was wonderful! i thought of you on your big day! - beatriz
I love your garden! Your plants are coming along beautifully... you make me want a yard SO badly!!
