Around these parts it seems most of my plant pictures come from the yards of our friends. I still am acquiring some great ones from our friends this year. However, in 2007 I have photos from our yard too! We actually got around to planting a bit of a garden this year and our fruit trees are doing fantastic. In fact, our unknown tree it seems is the fruit bearing plum tree, even though we were told it was a different tree. The evidence above says otherwise. The tree is packed with them. We need to thin them out a bit, but it doesn’t seem as intuitive to do so as with our apple tree.

About a month or so ago we got a call from Ashley telling us about a couple of plant sales going on in town and met up with her and had a plant buying frenzy. The sale at the community garden center was all heirloom plants started from seeds from Seeds of Change. We picked up two different types of peppers, a globe eggplant, and two types of tomatoes. My friend Susan was over this afternoon (and she has a fantastic yard, though I’ve never capture it in photos — yet) and she was helping weed and suggesting other plants to put into the other raised beds and such. I think she may have gotten me more motivated to be out in the yard this season. We’ll see if it lasts once the heat hits though…
