Broken Crocus

Spring Crocus in bloom
Broken under careless foot
Beautiful still

Container Gardening
















My garden is part of the front yard.  It's a large front yard, but just a front yard nevertheless, as opposed to... say... a hobby farm. (drool)  So there's only so much room for a garden.  As it is, much of it is a raised garden over the septic bed. That's why containers are important in my growing season.  I have them sitting on the septic tank (above left) where I plant mostly basil in with bedding plants for company.  There are a few peppers there too.  There are also containers on a garden table (above right) where I've planted spinach, swiss chard, radishes and purple basil. Then my salad greens are on a little green house unit on my deck, where they're handy (below left).  And most of my peppers are on another garden table, along with some globe basil, rosemary and bedding plants (below right).  There are other containers too, but these are the most important in my garden.
