Garden!

[cjsmith]

Over the weekend I planted a teeny tiny garden! Rob had a great idea: since the reason I had been wanting lamb's ears so badly was that they were "pettable", he thought I should put in only plants that were fun to touch. I now have a small plot by the front door that includes Meyer's asparagus and four little splotches of lamb's ears. I would have added snapdragons -- they're interactive, if not soft to the touch -- but they want full sun.

Rob and I also planted various big pots with handfuls of flowers and greenery in contrasting colors. I liked the set that had mums, cyclamen, purple alyssum, and dusty miller.

But I like my small plot best. Now if only I can keep it alive; it's not on any of the irrigation systems nearby, and lamb's ears wilt pretty quick if they're thirsty.

I'm proud of my teeny little garden! :-)
