Basil sisters growing on the kitchen window.
Seeded pots: marigolds, peas, beans, nasturtium, pumpkins, & more basil
The repotted shamrock. (Note the beautiful brown egg in the blue bowl beside.)
The blood orange tree we are experimenting with this year as an indoor/outdoor plant. We've named her Sanguine.
The strawberries are blooming.
The pansies from last year self seeded and are back without any real work!
We couldn't resist one critter shot. Here are the chickens three enjoying a bug hunt in the rhubarb bed. Henrietta likes worms. Waltzing Matilda enjoys ants, and Claudette prefers dandelion greens.
Here I am in my Juneau Sneakers French trenching the first (and largest) of the veggie beds. French trenching is laborious, but it really breaks up the clods, loosens up the soil and mixes in the soil additions. Then we planted this bed with cauliflower, collard, and onion starts.
The chives came back in force. We've been enjoying them in all kinds of dishes, especially omelets.
All the berry bushes are back. This is the raspberry. We also have 4 blueberry, a marionberry, and blackberries.
And finally, here is the variegated ficus (or weeping fig) that we went on such a search for over the weekend. It seems very happy in its huge pot on the landing. His name is Fickle.

These all look so great! I don't think our 2'x2' would look quite so good, but we'll try.
