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.!

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