Purple

While I don’t use any purple in the house to decorate (which I might just have to change), it seems I have a weakness for purple in the garden. This evening while the boys were in the kiddie pool, I took some snapshots of the growing eggplants, okra and butterfly garden.

Here’s a shot of the majority of the veggie garden.

There is a low spot in the garden where water stands, so the plan is to convert it into a small brick patio. Right now, all the garden paths are linear with the beds boxed off. The current layout has a lot of wasted space. At the end of the season, the rigid structure will be taken out and replaced with a winding path … at least that’s the current plan. I’m not sure if my trained engineer’s mind will be able to handle that much chaos, but the inner artist is craving a spiral or curve.
