My Garden

I have a postage stamp for a backyard. 

I dream of having enough room to have rows, actual rows of veggies.

Until then, this is what I have squeezed into my postage stamp.

Our fig tree. I should have taken a picture to show you that it seems to be a bit short statured. In fact, it looks like a huge bonsai tree. But it still gives us pounds of figs ever year. I love seeing how pricey they are at the store and then adding up the money as I pick. I'd say we yield at least $60 worth.

In about a month I won't know what to do with all of them.

My leeks, apparently they only take a season to grow. These have been slowly maturing for over a year. Who knows when I will be able to enjoy them.

Peppers, for some reason I'm just not that great at growing them. But I never stop trying.

Tomatoes, also a bit disappointing so far. I have yet to have enough to include them in a recipe.

Ugh, my oregano. I cut this darn thing down to nothing twice a year and it still tries to take over. You can't even see my Lemon Thyme next to it.

If you know where I live, please, come on by and grab some.

Now to my baby...

My Pomegranate tree/bush.

For the past 3 years it has dropped its flowers so I have yet to get a fruit from it.

This year I have close to 10 fruits growing.

I can't wait for the fall to enjoy them. Until then, I will be fighting off all birds who try to get to them before me.
