Week ??

Ok, I'm quite unsure what week I'm on in the garden and in this blog about the garden.  Here's where things currently stand...

Here's a picture of the garden.  It's lush and green.  The light green plants in the foreground are broccolli.  Behind them you can see cucumbers, squash, peppers, tomatoes, etc.  I have to get some fall crops in this week...there are open spaces in the garden...just gotta do it!

Here's the herb garden...left to right, Thai hot peppers, chives, dill, cilantro, basil.  The herb garden was a huge success, and I am really happy that I dug out the nasty shrubs that were in there.   I'm drying basil and mint leaves, and harvesting dry dill seeds and coriander (cilantro seed).

Angel found seeds for these amazing burgundy/black sunflowers a couple months back.  We planted them in the house's side flowerbed.  They grew a little over chest-high, and opened up to reveal these gorgeous flowers.  I've never seen sunflowers quite like them.
