Re: My garden

Looks great to me, Chris.   The eggplant is a super photo; how do you
grow those without the leaves being laced by flea beetles?  

What is the line of red items on the right in
http://www.mallorn.com/~lindsey/yard/deckfar1.jpg ?

I know that deck was a whale of a lot of work, but I bet you're
really pleased that you did it.  It looks like such a great place to
sit and relax!  I like the idea of a patio; that would be super and
you wouldn't have to mow it:-)

Is the upside down chair protecting the flowers from the pup in the
pots photo?
