Gardening

We spent part of the weekend working on the garden, putting in some new vegetables, herbs and flowers.

Violet worked very hard, raking into the veggie plot the fallen leaves we'd saved, as compost.

We let the littles out, on their leashes.

This guy likes to run straight under the giant lavender bush. He can smell the rats who used to eat our oranges underneath, and it's hard for us to get him out when he's hiding there.
 

We gave Melanie back her snake plants now that they've moved to a bigger place, but they've grown so much that we were able to divide them and keep some.

We bought this lovely green pot from the nursery.

Our blueberry bush is going wild! Every white flower will be a berry.

I decided to try again with the area near our bedroom slider. It gets a lot of shade, but of course plenty of heat in the summer. This time I finally looked for shade loving flowers.

Violet asked for the barrel planter, and put in herbs.
