Grow Baby Grow!


I've recently acquired a wonderful little Canon Powershot camera that I'm enjoying fully. I've also just decided to try to improve my black thumb (poor unsuspecting plants!) and as a result have discovered the wonders of micro-sprinklers. Here are some photos of the plants that, if nothing else, will serve as proof that they were once healthy.



Hooray for hostas in the shade




but wait, there's more...



I've decided that this plant is the drama queen of the bed--I came home this evening and found the flowers plastered to the dirt, little hands thrown dramatically over their eyes crying "Water... I must have water!" 20 minutes later they were back to their perky selves. Leave it to me to find needy violets. sigh.
