Back on the Island

We landed Wednesday evening after an enjoyable time in SW Florida. I was happy to be back to my garden. The flowers are doing very well as are my veggies and herbs. Here are a few pics.

Sue said...: Pretty, pretty, pretty! Love the summer! So fun to look at the flowers each day and the veggies and see how they've grown. Gorgeous pics, you should print them out and make note cards out of them.; July 18, 2008 at 11:06 AM
Rosemarie said...: These are great pics! I need to start growing some herbs - flowers and plants don't seem to last long with me though! :); July 18, 2008 at 1:22 PM
