Bugs

Well the skeeters have unfortunately kept me out of my garden lately.  I go in, acquire about 5-8 bites and get out.  Therefore, I have not gotten that far into it.  The weather is supposed to cool down and by cool down I mean 80s...never thought I would say that. 

This is the basil that was bequeathed to me by a neighbor.  I am finding that it does very well in a pot.  I am using the 'very expensive' irrigation technique of used soda bottles for slow release watering.  I cleared it a little bit so that you can see it here.  The reason why you can't see it too well is because I am using ginger ale bottles and they are green, they blend beautifully!

These are some of the tomato plants that were also given to me.  I am doing my best to nurse them back to life!  Also in the mix here is the dahlia plant in the background.  This one was given to me by my father :).  It is starting to show what it is made of!
