Edgar the Dying Tomato and Zombie Oregano

Yuna Final Fantasy X-2

In “adventures in container gardening” land, I have a container of: “I have no idea what this is, other than they’re wildflowers and they look cool.”

Then, there is Edgar. My cherry tomato. Oh, how the mighty have risen and fallen.

This little sprout rose from the ashes of an entire dead pot of italian oregano. I’m worried about my brains and what’ll happen as it continues to grow.

Marigolds are amazing natural pest repellants. Or so I hear.

Then there are the jalapenos. Doing well. As they do in this type of weather.

I have bebeh roses, too. These were mostly dead when I got them, but they’ve been revived due to plant vitamins. They attract the bees.

Spearmint, peppermint, lavender, and lemon balm are some of the other herbs I have planted. (I should learn how to dry them, eh?) The lavender, if it blooms, won’t until the fall. But, the peppermint is growing mighty nice. Still have to replant the other one.
