They are now blooming and producing pea pods (see them in this picture?) and, boy are they good! So much better than what you get at the grocery store!
I've posted pictures of the roses, irises, poppies, and lavender in our front yard. You might be under the mistaken impression that we have a big yard. Well, no. Here's the whole thing:
And another view (ignore the open car door!)
The Husband manages to pack quite a lot in that small space. In addition to the flowers, there are
- 4 or 5 rose bushes
- 1 rosemary bush (several years old)
- 1 raspberry bush
- 2 and boysenberry bushes
- 1 rogue tree (don't remember what it is...we removed it several years ago because it "died" and replaced it with a tree that also died. Then this one decided to resurrect itself.)
- Some garlic and onion bulbs
- Assorted decorative plants
He also has a few things in the strip across the driveway that you can't see: some jasmine plants, a grapefruit tree, and a tangerine tree. He's also been known to put a tomato plant right by the gate leading to the back yard.
I'll try to get pictures of the back yard for next week's eye candy Friday, It's small, too, but chock full of plants!
And, just because I haven't shown any knitting pictures in a while, I present Here There Be Dragons in their current state:
The pink and black beaded thing is a pattern row counter that I made using the free pattern from Turtlegirl76.
On tap this week, besides the "normal" weekend chores, I want to make more progress on these socks, and, of course, spin, spin, spin! (gee, maybe I'll stop in at Purlescense and check out the Victoria spinning wheel...)
