skygarden update

The weather has been a bit cool and rainy for the past six weeks since I planted my garden, but even an aphid invasion can't stop the skygarden.

Thanks in part to a seed exchange with Colorado's second hottest blogger (Skyler's Dad is #1), James from Heavy:Lift with Caution, I've introduced some beautiful new exhibits to the flower gallery this year. It's by far the most diverse garden I've ever grown, and it should fill out nicely in a month or so. Until then, here's some macro shots of the season's first blooms:

Sweeeeet skygarden, Kat! Looks like it's the perfect blend of yummy stuff and pretty flowers. Ooh! Look at the pretty flowers!

Also: photography was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shots and great looking garden. On an unrelated note, the buckle is still not here, just in case you were wondering where my photos were.

Your garden is nearly as beautiful as you are Kat!

I am now officially jealous - I've been struggling to get my garden back under control after long abandonment.

BTW I've got some NTSC dvds made up and yours is on it's way

You're back! Thank goodness.

KR, You are such a botanist, and I mean that in the best possible way.

Without looking at the prompts I saw lantana, marigolds, begonias, impatiens, petunias, basil and dill . . . oh, my!

Very beautiful, Kat! You've inspired me to use my extra day off to clean up the garden and shoot some video for the blog.

Kinda expected to see Don Vito Corleone stumbling around in his tomato plants.
