Front terrace plantings filling out nicely — this was taken about three weeks ago. That’s strawberries, tomatoes, squashes, peppers, and nasturtiums.
A look at my vertically layered front garden: peppers on the bottom, squashes that will (hopefully) trail down the wall, tomatoes (to be joined by basil in a few weeks), and strawberries.
