Garden Update & Pic of the Yardsale Find

May 17th, 2009 at 12:54 am

Two posts in 1 afternoon! I have to admit an addiction to taking pics of EVERYTHING I talk about in my posts - hope you guys don't mind Smile

Here are some updated pics of my container garden and yard sale finds.

Here's the whole garden all out of order. I fixed them after taking the pics.

My oregano is growing abundantly.

Parsley's working out too.

However, the basil is struggling. But there's hope because, if you look closely, there's new sprouts.

Pepper's going strong.

Tomatoes are doing VERY well!

And so is the lettuce.

I have other plants - more peppers, parsley & chives, but I figured that was enough with the garden pics.

And here is the great yard sale buy of the day! The eliptical!

Lastly, here's one of the rugs I picked up at a dollar apiece. One is for the entryway and one is for in front of the sliding doors.

Hope you enjoyed the pics & they weren't too much Smile

Enjoyed your pics. That elliptical was quite a find! FYI - the basil looks fine, but the little plant at the top of the pot is a weed, I think.
