Busy times at the Inkdependence house!

Hi folks,
If you're here looking for new content, then you're going to be a little disappointed. Things have been so busy around here that I haven't found time to do photography or video, and so I've had nothing to show you in a while. It's the end of the college semester and I'm as busy as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. There's grading to be done, exam writing to be done, frantic students to wrangle, and the soil place dropped off an "almost" surprise load of soil last week. I've been gardening up a storm (when it's not raining on me), and I hope to get some veggies out of my new raised bed later this summer. I don't really like veggies that much, but I like growing things, and fresh veggies makes the wife happy.

I'll be back soon (probably the end of the week) when things calm down a bit. 'Til then, enjoy some pictures of my nacent gardens.

Word.
Mike

I had a huge patch of lilies that had to be broken up, and now I have a ton of lilies. I hope they bloom this year, but I'm not sure they will. There are also some celosia, mums, a couple of juniper rugs, and a bush that explodes with pink flowers (but I can't make my mind spit out the name right now). There's now some Dusty Miller and a couple of peonies in there as well. 

Broccoli, cauliflower, snow peas, strawberries, radishes, and tomatoes in this raised bed.

The garden is about 9' x 5' and 8" deep. That was a lot of wheelbarrows-full of soil.

I went to the Mebane Shrubbery Market and came home with all sorts of things. Then I went to Lowes and found some more...
