Workin' the Land

We have a wee plot at the not-so-new Southampton St. house;

but the small size has not stopped us from workin' the land we do have, making it both beautiful and functional.

First, the function.

In this shot you can just see the beans sprouting in our new wee veggie patch. We also have pumpkins, carrots, parsley, 2 kinds of basil, mint, dill, cilantro, oregano, garlic, chives, leeks and cucumber. Pretty good for our itty bitty lot!

Here we have beets and sweet peppers

(this is a pic I took of my duckbill dino munching some oregano.)

Now the form...

This is the second season of working on our backyard garden, and we think its coming along nicely!

(in this pic my dino is sampling creeping thyme)

Me and my duckbill on the upper part of the back deck.

As you already know, we recently got a lot of dirt delivered, which we used partly to create the beginnings of a garden in front of the house.

And here I am at the side of the house, dino in hand.
