I just realized this morning that I didn't take pictures of the garden last week and that it has been exactly two weeks since I last posted! I guess, in my own defense, that I
have been busy, but, still...
The pineapple sage is blooming. The flowers are gorgeous, but usually when a plant like this blooms, it means it's nearing the end of its life cycle. I don't know yet what to do with pineapple sage, but I'm going to have to find out.
Here are this week's pictures. A new one has been added - the morning glory plants under the trees. These were started from seed a few weeks back and then put outside about two weeks ago.

We discovered that the reason the pepper plants were going all yellow and looking so bad had to do with overwater - they literally were drowning. So Danny has put me in charge of the watering tasks, and I've started putting in a Rainbird irrigation system for the pots, so that all one has to do is turn on the faucet for a short while every other day or so. Of course, weather being what it is, no soon had I started putting in the system then we started getting fairly regular rain, and we haven't even had a chance to test the system because we are getting plenty of water already!
LOL! Is that like washing your car? Put in an irrigation system and it rains. :D
