The state of things

This is the state of my garden these days. The basil is flourishing, the small peppers are coming out colorfully, the bell peppers are flowering but alas still no fruit (!), and the lettuce is growing quite nicely, if I do say so myself.

Of course, it is now, when things are going somewhat well in the garden, that we are leaving on vacation for a few days. We're taking my family up to Acadia in Maine, and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family. But who knows what my garden will look like when I get back! I'm hoping that if I drench the plants before I leave, they will last the three days, and be somewhat alive (at least revivable) when I return. In any case, I thought I'd take some pictures today to document the fact that my garden was, at some point, actually green and alive.

Now what would be really amazing is if I came back to some actual bell peppers. :)
