backyard plant news

Were you ready to see a mess?  There's bed one, basically abandoned since summer.

There's bed two, with the dead mega-marigold in the foreground.

There's bed three, which Ming and I have tended with love, though there's celery in there the neighbor planted.  Onion, yarrow, more onion...it's waiting for some action.  Any ideas?

And here's bed four, our darling.  We've had those broccoli plants in there for a long time, and they aren't really growing, but I have spring hopes.  There's a kale and a chard left over from long ago that, like the broccoli, are not really growing.  And in the far corners are chamomile and sage.

 

Citrus tree that was here when we got here.

Our Mary, the blood orange tree we planted with friends a year ago.

The hole the broccoli thief left in bed five.

 

Some chard in bed six.

Our super-loved tree collard.

Finally the lemon tree out front that had been in a big barrel out back but our main neighbor planted it out front half year ago.

Today we weeded a little in bed two and will claim it, is the plan, as our main neighbor is moving away.  I want to plant it with sunflowers in the spring.  Who knows what to do with bed one.  Please tell me any thoughts.
