Haven't taken any pics of this weeks' progress in the garden, but here are two fairly recent pics:

On the left is a wide angle of my four beds. The on the right is the newest (and least square - *sigh*). I'm planning on adding another behind them that is long and narrow for trellis crops. It was going to be two trellis beds, but I'll be lucky to get one done. The white bundles are bales of peat that I'll use to stretch out the soil I'll buy.

On the right are my chives that I started the first year. It started out with one sprout and has now been divided into two clumps. This is the first year it has bloomed like that. Love it! The metal grating is a pea fence laid on its side to discourage the canine varmints who think they're vegetarians.

Oh the chives are lovely! When they seed, would you send me some? Those purple flowers get kinda brown and papery and full of tiny black seeds that you can just shake into an envelope or bowl...

I don't know if I have anything to exchange them...even my squash is likely all cross-pollinated.

I got the compost containment up...now I have a place to put my garden debris. Hadn't worried about it before...the chickens took care of the scraps.

~sigh~

While I was out there, five F-16s flew over...fairly low and beautiful.
