Finally with just a little rain [View all]

Garden life returns, and so does the daily crawl. In one section next to a patio, about 100sq ft, pineapple sage, peppermint and spearmint have finally taken over as ground cover displacing the weeds. Within that area, lorded over by a Brown Turkey Fig & Yucca aloifolia, or Spanish Bayonet cluster, are blackberry, jalapeno, red savina habanero, pineapple, and border of Garlic Chives/Chinese Leek and Rosemary. Nearby, other lilies bloom.
