Since all I've been working on is the Ugliest Sweater Ever, I vow not to show pics until The End. So, we'll get a few snaps of the garden in.
Let's start with the near-beginnging:

The Flower Garden Before

The Veggie (a.k.a. Tomato and Basil) Garden Before
And now for proof that the soaker hose is working. It's on a timer to facilitate our laissez-faire gardening style.

The Flower Garden Last Week

Night Shot of Echinacea (Purple Cone-flower)

My Favorites: Tiger Lilly

There's a Trickster in My Garden!

The Veggies are in Utter Pandemonium
Otherwise known as, if you live in Iowa City and want basil, email me.

Maters!
We already have way more tomatoes (and delectable, at that) than we did all summer last year! Caprese for all!

My Orchid
My pops got me a beeeeautiful orchid for my birthday. Here it is finally. It's owner is remembering to water it and care for it.

Don't Even Think about My Martini
Obviously the owner of the orchid is being watered and cared for as well.

Well Watered
You know, anything not to wilt in all of this heat. Carwash makes a mean martini. Those are my only feeble excuses. Forgive me.

I would like to place an order for some basil. Please send some to Mrs. O. Mr. O would like some too, so send plenty.
Your garden looks hot. You need to make an assload of pesto!
Ruby Banshee, I just started a new blog called Ugly Blog, so I've been looking around for ugly related blogs. Anyway, I found this entry (this post) during my search so I thought I'd make a quick post to let you know! I'd be happy to trade links if you're interested. Have a great day - Eric
