    What is funny is the Wife doesn't touch the garden at all. She hates getting dirty. lol

    I am not sure why they didn't post all of the pictures that were taken. It is not like they take up that much storage space online. Here are a few from a while back.

    really nice work. what a beautiful flower border. i recently potted up a largish pot as a wedding gift with flowers & basil (3 types). basil is so beautiful. are you familiar with fish hot chilis ? they are lovely variegated plants & hot peppers. i put one in my flower bed.

    I have never heard of fish hot chilies. I have Purple Basil and Thai basil intermixed with Cayenne, Jalapenos, Yellow Bell and Wax Peppers. The Cayennes are starting to turn red now finally!
