Here are some updated pictures of the front yard. You can actually see the trunks on the holly bush and nandinas in the front of the house, and the flowers in the raised front bed are doing much better now that they can get some sunlight. The fir (on the right) looks great as a tree instead of a bush. It's nice to be able to walk around the yard without getting smacked by a low hanging limb.
The crepe myrtles are blooming, and David trimmed out most of their deadwood. They are so huge!
We are on High Alert with the tomatoes, as the first almost ripe one has been spotted. The plants have gotten so tall that we're going to have to find taller stakes for them. (They remind me of Poppie's wash tub tomatoes.) We have definitely enjoyed the fresh dill, rosemary and basil all season. Mike decided fresh basil is what made his lasagne extra good the last time he made it. There is still some dill, although we have fed most of it to our caterpillars. We haven't had any tomato worms, but if some show up we'll bring them in and raise them, too.
