Friday Night Photos: Tomatoes, Veggies, and Purslane! (2011 Garden Update #7)




Herbs and vegetables are flourishing in the garden, and it's a good thing I love purslane!

The farther we get into summer, the more I am loving my new garden system of drip sprinklers and raised beds surrounded by cloth/gravel for weed control.  Actually, the system may be working a little too well, because it's turning me into a lazy gardener, now that I don't have to do much weeding at all to keep the weeds in control.  Last weekend I was in San Diego (attending BlogHer11, where I'm sorry to report I didn't take many photos) and when I got home the garden had exploded with produce, even though I had people pick things when I was gone.  I love this time of year when my biggest worry is what to make next with my garden produce, and I don't even mind the weeds when they're a tasty edible weed like Purslane, shown above growing next to my rosemary.  (If you have purslane growing in your garden, I recommend eating it in a salad.)
