Mary Mary quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.


Some six weeks after we begun, our garden is all in, and I am very happy! We went out in the rain today (better than the burning sun of yesterday, at least) and picked up some plants for the last 3 feet of the garden, as we inexplicably had room left over at the end of our planogram ;-)

So, Lissa, what are you growing in your garden?

Peppers, peppers, and, well, um... peppers!


Actually, we're growing...

(from left to right:)
6 small "Super Chili" hybrid chili plants

Curled Parsley, Petroselinum crispum (front)
Celery, Giant Pascal (maybe; back)(weren't we going to put Italian Parsley here?)

Chocolate mint, mentha x piperita piperita(front)
Curly Mint, Mentha spicata crispa (back)

Thyme, Thymus Citriodorus, "Archer's Gold (back)
Rosemary (front)

Turnip Greens, "Seven Top"

Beets, "Early Wonder"

Pepper, "Sweet Banana/Sweet Hungarian"

Pepper, "Blushing Beauty," Capsicum annuum

Pepper, "Red Beauty," Capsicum annuum

Tomato, "Cupid Grape," Lycopersion esculentum

In the smallish square planter, Cowpea, "Pinkeye Purple Hull"

In the longish planter in front:

(all mixed up together in a salad mix)
