Minty Monday

I found mint growing wild. Went to pull a weed and what do you know, it’s mint. Mint takes over the world, so it’s now mint in this tub.

This is a Mignonette lettuce, which is ironic because it’s neither small nor cute. This thing is the size of my head and still growing.

The garden has reached a size where one big sprinkler in the middle is no longer sufficient to distribute the water evenly, and so I finally put in more elaborate watering.

More watering gear, and the lower lettuce bench.

This shot shows both the extended watering that now includes the peach trees, and the end-cap for the western path bench.Photo0110

I got tired of the end of this bench slipping under me so I capped and filled it.

More mint (top bin) and coriander. The last batch bolted early, so these ones are in the shade of the tomatoes (bolting is caused by excessive heat and/or too much sun).
