We've been working on our backyard since the day after we bought the house in January. In late February we planted beds with plain & fancy gladiolus (from a big box store) and some irises liberated from our just-recently sold house. Despite our rough handling of them, a few of the irises flowered and -- much to our delight -- the glads came up strong and vibrant. Part of my catching up, blog-wise, will be about the lawn-to-garden transformation that's taken up a bunch of our time. There are lots of pictures and thoughts to share. In the meantime, the tomatoes are still seedlings, the okra plants are a mere 4" tall, and the runners on the pole beans are only just reaching the bottom of their 6' climb. The veggie contribution to this week's theme is from a Japanese Eggplant (Ichiban) planted in patio pot.
