I think taking pictures of your garden are so important... it truly is sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees! ;)

So cute...but would like to see a shot far enough away to get the overall effect.

It's so hot, it seems the containers are doing better than what's in the ground.!

I'd like to know what kind of fertilizer was used! Amazing growth.

Love the containers. I need to get my brain to working thinking up such great ideas. The funnel and the lunchbox are my favs.
