The seminole hibiscus bloomed again. That's the second time, since we picked it and the indian princess up at the hibiscus show in Pasadena. The Indian Princess still hasn't bloomed yet, its blooms keep falling off.

Week Twelve

I’m pretty busy these days, which is a good thing, so this post is about a week late – and I won’t be able to post regularly until I’m finished with a freelance project I’m working on. Hopefully, I’ll be back to posting regularly again soon.

When I started blogging again this spring, I tried my best to keep posting every workday every week, and occasionally I’d miss a day here or there but I think it’s OK to cease the daily publishing for now, considering I have three paying jobs at the moment. But that’s enough bragging.

Photos from the twelfth week in the garden are up, spanning May 30-June 5, and have been tagged "Week Twelve" in my Gardening 2010, Part Two album in my Picasa Web Albums. To see the original bed photos — in a slideshow from week to week — visit my Gardening 2010 photo album on Facebook.
