Distractions….and slackers….

Between family,
    personal issues,
    work…
-I officially retire in 31 days!-
    tropical storms….
-thanks Debbie for the mess you left in my yard-
   and other various stuff…
….like a leak in the wall of the house…
leak                                                             Oy!I need a concrete guy,stat!
the garden has taken a back seat,lately.
Time to get back to work…
Yesterday was spent cleaning up
and doing a photo log of where the garden is…
The warm winter and early summer have taken a toll on the veggie garden.
All that is left are some green beans,
and eggplant…

and a pineapple!

cut the top off a store bought one and stick in dirt.
Does it get any easier than that?
Then cut the top off this one and plant…
along with the baby it’ll put off the side
…and so on and so on….
soon you’ll have a pineapple plantation!

Meyer Lemon has fruit…

The lone Brown Fig is still growing…

…yet.

The Simpson Stopper berries are ripening…

The Purple Fire Spike is blooming like crazy…

Kay,I think I got the original cutting from you when we had the garden meet-up at Meems.
Sooo….
just when you are kicking back by the pool….
