Sproing!

Spring has hit here at the Black Thumb in a big way. Kinda like a tidal wave, really...we have gotten a LOT of rain lately, and the plants are loving it. So without further ado, here are the Outsiders...

The Herb Bowl at my back steps:

And more here. Click that link for a slideshow of all my garden pictures.

As for the Insiders...Draco and Umbrella are thriving when not being nibbled by the cat. There is one shoot of Jade left...he's been dying off bit by bit. Purple whatzit has gotten taller...we rescued a friend for him of the same species from Lowes for a quarter, but it was too far gone. Belle is trying her best to burrow into a picture frame but I keep thwarting her progress. The others not mentioned...are gone. Some plants I'm just not supposed to keep I suppose...but I do have Brummy, a collection of bromeliads that I need to photograph.
