Watch my Gardens Grow...Update '08-1

If you take a look at the "Narleeville Gardens" post, you'll really appreciate these pics! It's a miracle what a difference a month makes in a garden! My Mom helped me realize that my Clematis needed a new home...so we added this solar light post to the middle of the front lawn and let the Clematis climb it! It's surprising how much curb appeal this added!

We are waiting patiently for the Butterfly garden to really get into the bloom swing! It's growing slowly but surely and being that they are all perennials I shouldn't complain!

The Veggie Patch is a happy place! We have already harvested all of our Radishes and have had some Swiss Chard, Peas and Beans. We had lettuce coming out of our ears, enough to share and tonight's dinner will consist of our first Cucumber Harvest! Our Tomatoes are getting big and we're excited to have some that we are positive aren't harbouring salmonella!

The Herb Garden had done very well! Out Dill tastes amazing in potato salad and we may even pickle some of our Cucumbers... In addition to Dill is Cilantro, Parsley, Lavender, Rosemary and Oregano...I think the Basil and Catnip washed away... or maybe they'll pop up later..

My Front Perennial Garden is having another good year. Nothing is really blooming right now, the roses just went through a bloom and should be again in about a week. Moving a few things away from the Peony was necessary this year as it has about tripled in size in this growing season! I laid some weed barrier down and topped with mulch...also put in a border to aid against erosion of my soil...

I'll keep you posted on my bloomings!
