Home again

After two weeks away from home, happily distracted by the beach in Kino, we returned to find our garden in full-swing. Thanks to our very thorough caretaker, there were no major losses among the plants. An hour of weeding and a few transplants on our first morning back put everything in perfect order. Oh, what a happy homecoming to our little eden.

Corn, nearly a foot tall now


Bean Jungle

The mysterious field of suspected 'weeds' finally blooms and turns out to be a beneficial bee and bird attractor

Tomatoes galore... plus happy onions, ecstatic zucchini and pleased little peppers

They may be small, but these berries are fiercely flavorful! Monitored daily to beat the birds, this bush has yielded over 10 berries :)

These two ants have discovered a shady and fragrant haven from the summer heat.
(Looking at this picture makes me wish for a moment to be small enough to sit inside a flower, especially a beautiful lilac colored one...)
