GARDEN PLANTING & YARD PHOTOS w/ NIECE KRISTIN


the nothing-politically-correct-whatsoever garden:

soil amended with store-bought compost and $5 shovel from home depot to disturb the natural soil layering, watered with city water from house faucet



niece Kristin finds in the yard
an unidentified subtropical blossom



directly west of garden:
yummy beautiful lemon tree



Kristin's lemon face--
but you can't hide those curls!


Kristin (actual face)



directly east of garden:
grapefruit tree



directly south of the garden:
name that tree



closeup of the ten-inch-long hanging pod



bananas!


suburban gardener


my first actual garden planted in years: a 3'x8' raised bed

curious how the Hopi Blue Corn (larger "first generation" kernels)
will companion with the Thai Siam Queen Basil scattered across,
and how any of it will do in
subtropical San Diego climate and soil
