garden update

OMG WE HAVE MELON isn't that the most adorable little melon you've ever seen? 

Oh, and I did some major weeding!  Although "weeding" usually means "getting rid of all the unwanted plants" in this case "able to see brown stuff between the wanted plants" was deemed a win.  Added bonus in these pics: badass melon growth and what appear to be architecturally sound scaffolding.

I wouldn't have guessed that I'd like the lilies so much, but I think these are just arrestingly lovely.

More silly dog stuff

It's too hot to play outside, so we're learning more dog tricks. This time: how to put something in the basket, vs bringing it to me.

A twist on Abby's game of indoor walking fetch:



Buster, of course, is more pumped!

More garden pics

Last weekend, I built some scaffolds for the garden.  I think it's typically called a trellis, but that implies a certain aesthetic features that these lack.

I think this view is probably the most beautiful arrangement we've ever had in our garden.

And I wonder why the dogs are so stinky.
