EL JARDIN, PART I

My brother-in-law, Pete, wanted to see how the garden looks now.  First, the left side, looking out from the pergola:


That's an avocado tree in the center.  It's the only one we planted--we have 2 more volunteers.  To the left is a white poinsettia our neighbors gave us in a pot.  Poinsettias grow into trees here.  Underneath is mint ground cover.  Red coleus in front.


Some filler


We're discussing which bananas to cut down.


Volunteer avocado


Purple stuff


Our first fig died, so we planted another.


Another avocado!


Plum


Seeds started in double stacked egg crates.  Wish me luck.  Sprouted hollyhocks, cucumbers, prudens purple tomatoes.  Yet-to-sprout slim jim eggplant, radicchio, cayenne peppers.
