How my Garden Grows...

Since we have so many bunnies in our backyard,
I decided on a potted garden this year.
Here are some pics I took this week...
My favorite, the late blooming Pineapple Sage.
It's crimson red blossoms attract hummingbirds and butterflies.


Tasty flowers of the Nasturtium plant are great
in a salad, due to their slight peppery flavor.


Rosemary is yummy in a pot of black beans
or potatoes cooked with peppers and onions.


These are heirloom beefsteak tomatoes.
Anxiously awaiting their maturity...


Purple Sage smells amazing.
The Parsley growing next to it
contains lots of Vitamin A.


And this is the garden guard dog, Oliver.
He unfortunately helps himself to the snap peas.
What a weird dog! He loves watermelon too.
