Im a Slacker

Swiss Chard baby! I currently have 6 of these guys from Sunset Nursery and they seem to be doing well. One of them got attacked by a squirrel but seems to be doing fine after replanting.
Baby Cauliflower! My first plant from seed.....EVER! 4 out of 6 spouted, one of those four got trampled on by an unknown creature.
Mini raised beds on the North side of the yard! As you can see we have a serious vine situation. Constant weeding is necessary. I would kill it but its so pretty when its green and my landlord doesn't really deserve my services as a gardener. Once i leave i want this place to grow over like the jungle.
FRONT BED: Rainbow Swiss Chard & Bolero Carrots
MIDDLE BED: Green Macerata Cauliflower, Dill and Alisa Craig onions
BACK BED: Quinoa (so excited about this one)
Our first orange blossoms, out of the two trees this one is the sour, but hopefull the pruning i did last month and the eradications of the vines that were strangling it will help......unless its a "sour orange" tree.
My Babies!
This little bugger i found stranded in my neighbors driveway in pieces. I glued and clamped it back together and am planning on sanding it and painting it grey!
