	The community garden plot Our plot is marked off by a wooden border that extends from the far side of the apple tree (which is part of our plot), to just this side of the box you see. As you can see, we could easily fit two more boxes into the plot, but I'm trying to start small. The box is in the northeast corner of the plot, and the tree is on the southwest. I think I'd love to have a papasan or other comfy chair under the tree.
	The box Left is north in this picture -- the north end of the box has four of the tomato plants from cassidyrose, then the next column has the other two. To the far right, top to bottom, are a strawberry plant and a verbena.
	Box, again
	Bulbs Under our apple tree are some bulbs we can't identify, but we're excited to see if they turn into something next spring.
	Close-up of bulbs Anyone have an idea what these might be? They look kinda like Jerusalem artichokes up close.
	Apple! It's a bit blurry, but we selected an apple to be our covergirl -- we'll take pics of her every time we're taking photos, and follow her apple-y progress. Hard to see, but she's green with a blush of peachy pink.

The bulbs remind me of gladiloli, but they could be just about anything. :)

Yeah. I'll be really happy if they're something pretty, but if they grow at *all*, I'll be thrilled, because they're a found treasure.

Given the current state of leaves, I'm thinking naked ladies.

Hell, if I'm awake, I'm thinking naked ladies ;)

I love your icon.

I've got a "contact gardening high" from all your posts! It's looking good. I want a picture of you sitting under the tree with your garden in full production in the foreground.

Yes, you definitely need a comfy chair and perhaps a little side table where you can sit and rest and survey the fruits of your labor (both literal and figurative!)

you are so adorable!

[pir-anha.livejournal.com]

looks great! yay, garden!

tip for getting the camera to autofocus on the green apple in the field of greenery instead of behind it: hold your hand right next to the apple, focus on that, hold while removing your hand, shoot. this presumes your camera has a focus hold, but most do these days (depressing button only halfway usually does it).

Thanks! (That's the one pic that someotherguy took, and I'm sure we'll both benefit from the advice.)

As cute-poet-chick would've said, "No way am I more adorable than YOU."

My mom wrote to me after seeing the pictures: "Amazing...you don't have my black thumb." But I think even she could grow stuff in the Bay Area.

I Love your garden!! I wish I had one! Can't wait to see it in a few weeks!! :) :)

The video it's associated with is linked in that post.

i'm pretty sure those bulbs are daffodils. possibly a close relative, but definitely something in thta family.

your apple tree is so cute!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thanks! We have votes for naked ladies and daffodils. Since daffodils are sogwife's favorite flowers, I hope you're right. :-)

we can't grow naked ladies out here with our winters so i don't have any experience at all with them. they are in the same family as daffodils, though:) [both are in Amaryllidaceae, the amaryllis family]
