as seen :: in the garden

The rest of the backyard is still very much a disaster, but these three beds are planted and growing.  Zucchini, spaghetti squash, basil {of two varieties}, bell peppers, lettuce and herbs.  And even the lettuce and the one basil plant that got munched on by a squirrel {?} are coming right back.  Now let's see if I can get motivated to clear the weeds in the rest of the yard.  I've been promised more planter boxes {on the ground this time} if I can just get that done.  

P.S. Here I am working on the railing on the back stairs Lukas built while we were working on refinancing our house.  Both {refi and stairs} turned out great!
