Back Yard Stuff - First Week of June 2010

A bloom on the "Butterfly Bush." No butterflies yet.

The whole bush. It's progressing nicely. Where are the butterflies? I've since added a Milkweed plant next to the bush. Also planted mint and dill. All supposed to attract butterflies. Waiting!!!!!

The first tomato plant I put in the garden. There is actually a tiny tomato on the top, however, you can't make it out in this picture. So far, it is growing.

A view of the garden in its' infancy. There are now five tomato plants. I picked up a couple of Ramapo tomato plants. They were developed by Rutger's Univ. to bring back the true taste of the "Jersey Tomato." A flavor which has been absent for many years. Wish me luck with these.

Sophia sunning herself in the back yard. The spot of dead grass is where she parks herself due to the fact that the yard is mostly clover so there are a lot of bees buzzing around. You should see her jump around when the fire flies come out. Funny!
