Good times in the garden [gardening]
Raspberry season has arrived!
Time to stockpile more raspberries so we can make more of that delicious raspberry sorbet.
This garden bed is known as the BBQ Garden, because it originally looked like it used to be the site of a barbecue grill. Our lease explicitly says we can't have a barbecue grill, so instead we've got the BBQ Garden. A good, full-sun location:
The tomato, basil, and pepper plants in the BBQ Garden have really taken off over the past month, to the point where S figured we could roll up the chicken wire fences for the year. These tomato plants and the ones in the half wine barrel seem to be doing better compared to the tomato plants in the main garden bed.
Oh, here's what's at the other end of that rope:
In the meantime, the Dark Dahlia is getting big, and the lavender makes me happy every time I look at it.
And the porch herbs and smaller fig are pretty satisfying, too.
Overall I think we've reached a pretty good state with the garden and house plants. S would really love to take out all of the burning bushes on this property, which is understandable. But it isn't my top priority, because this is a rental house, and I've got too many other projects to work on in the meantime.

What does the landlord have against barbecues, though?

I think the landlord considers the fire risk too extreme. We aren’t allowed to have political signs or “water furniture,” either. No fun.
We make up for it all by owning 5 different kinds of camp stoves . 😃
