We will try to post many colors. Our garden is home to dozens of

Tobacco Flowers
We are not smokers but so many garden people are. We planted this
plant just as a example and to show others what tobacco plants look
like. If your gonna burn one you should know what it looks like.

This particular plant is a Native American strain used for rolled
cigarettes. The pink flowers are very pretty and the leaves can be
mixed with water to make bug spray for plants.....or smokes I guess.

Happy City Chickens
The ladies really love their new hen house. Now their just a week away
from me getting off my bum and building the new coop around their
home. Right now they just get out to run during the day but they are
the happiest chickens in the city we think.

These are the eggs from almost 2 days. Notice the difference in colors
which represent what chicken they are from.

This one small plot alone has produced many zucchini and lots of
tomatoes. Sunflowers are in full bloom and peppers are well on their
way.
