Let's check on the garden, shall we?

Remember what it looked like when we started?





Well check out these babies now!





And check out my blueberries! I think soon we'll have enough for one TINY BOWL of cereal!



And yesterday Mr. P - who in a past life was apparently part of the Swiss Family Robinson - built some tomato trellises (trellis? trelli?) out of tree branches:





Not bad, huh? Now if he could only build me a chaise lounge and dining chairs I'd be all set!

In the meantime we're attempting to pump up our veggies with plant steroids:



I'm not sure how these tiny balls (that resemble green NERD candies) work but I'm told it'll help our tomatoes grow nice and big. (and I like this option better than the idea of composting rotting fruit, grass and dog poop and using it as fertilizer - I'm all for sustainability but I draw the line and PURPOSELY putting dog poop on the tomatoes that I will later EAT.)



Plus I'm not much of a sportsman and I lack patience so I love the idea of giving our tomatoes an unfair advantage.
