Survivor 2011

Well, we are starting again.  Planting season.  Who will survive?  Who will become mulch first? 

Our contestants:

My herb garden.  We have chives, basil, dill, lavender, lemon balm, and spearmint.  In my defense, the really sad looking ones were given to me free and they looked that way when I got them.

My orange tree.  Hopefully we'll get some fruit on it this year.  Also, there's Riley's nose!

Two tomato plants.  The topsy turvey worked really well last year.  But when we opened the one on the very right up,there was a nest in there.  Apparently a bird has a sweet house.  We left it alone and planted the tomato in the garden.  We'll see how it goes.

I have beans and peas and squash and peppers and the tomato plant.  They are starting to really thrive.  Unfortunately, I can't remember which is which.  I'll find out when they produce though!

My apple trees.  There are two here.  The one on the right is looking pretty rough.  I think it may be the first one to go. 


The one thing that is surely thriving:

See her little hands on her legs?  She just loves her dad!
