Given the situation, perhaps now I will get to post some photos every now and again. I know that I am very much getting into gardening now that I have the time to do so! Here are a couple of photos of the fountain pool in our backyard. It was filled with dead leaves and muck, so I spent Sunday cleaning it all out. Ordered some new filter media for the pump on Ebay and need a new receptacle and I should have this bad boy back in action soon!

Here ya go, Bill....it always has to be around Memorial Day before we can plant anything here in Western NY, but here is my little garden and one of my flower beds for 2016. Unlike past years when I was stepping over (and on) stuff to weed, I made a standing spot (gray area) this year. On the left is my ever-growing strawberry patch and in the darker areas are (from left), basil, cilantro, green pepper, more basil (in pot) and Boston pickling cucumbers. Outer pots are a mix of habanero, green, jalapeno peppers with a grape tomato plant in the blue planter (need more tables to elevate). I am going down to buy another tomato plant tomorrow so I can hopefully get enough to make a few jars of pasta sauce this year! This is out front. I did the flowers and mulch - Michael added the holiday flags & pinwheels for Memorial Day. Bacchus approves of our hanging baskets in front of the house (although he barked incessantly at me while taking this picture!). Zoomed out version of our front yard.
