Water Garden - Finished (sort of)

Well, of course we gardeners know our projects are really never, ever finished! But compared to how it looked just a few days ago.....and WHAT A PROJECT! I would not recommend doing this in the middle of summer, but circumstances (see Garden Walk post) meant it had to be postponed. Click the photo to see more pics of the pond in progress.

Beautiful Beets

Well, who knew you could grow such lovely beets?!!! These are not your everyday ordinary red beets. These beautiful tri-color beets were grown from Gourment Blend Organic Heirloom Seeds.
