Garden Update

Here are some pictures to show the growth of our home gardens. We have a blooming beavertail cactus in the front yard. Jasmines are in full bloom in the back yard. Berries, daisies, tomatos, lilies, bluebells, and many other flowers are blooming in out back garden. Compare these to pictures from several posts ago to see the difference. We also have peppers and lettuce growing.

You will notice we have a working compost pile in our back garden area. The important thing we don't have a picture of is that our neighbor's horses like to eat our blackberries.
