There is nothing to report from the kitchen today, so you will get to hear all of my gardening tales from the weekend. First, I went to Lowe's and bought the trellis not thinking it was kinda big and how would I get it in my car. It did fit after some finagling and I need to get another one so I will take a picture of that as I know you are dying to see it. My landlady Maggie was out fiddling around in the yard and decided she was going to help ready the spot where the zucchini was going to go. She dug out some weeds and the next thing I knew she had a huge shovel and some pruning shears and was attacking a stubborn root that she had found. She looks like it is winter or something here, dressed in that fleece jacket, but it was 80something degrees yesterday!
And here is the little plot of zucchini all ready to grow.
Here are my fruit trees - a drawf Fig (on the left) and a lemon tree that has so many little lemons on it already. I wonder how many will actually grow. I got the fig tree last year from

It came in by DHL and had 4 figs on it when I received it. I only had 1 of them last year and it was just so-so. I'm sure they will be better this year. I got the lemon tree from OSH down the street.
Here are the planters with everything in them. I planted beefsteak tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green beans, peas, chives, basil, cilantro and rosemary. I got all the planters and dirt from Big Lots yesterday - they had a 20% off sale - woohoo!
