Ladybugs by Dana

On Sunday Darnell and I saw this Oleander bush covered with aphids.  It also had a lot of ladybugs on it that had hatched and was enjoying their dinner.

Baby apple pepper by Dana

Our apple pepper plant is starting to produce peppers.  I'm so excited because they are so good. I use the peppers in salad or in a saute.

Bell Peppers by Dana

All of our plants in our garden are in pots and to water them effectively Darnell set up irrigation in some of our plants.  Our bell peppers have irrigation set up and here's the picture of them being watered. We have 5 plants in this one pot and they all get a sufficient amount of water which is cool.

Onion Flowers by Dana

We have a lot of onions in pots in our garden.  Our onions grew flowers that look like little round cotton balls.

Strawberry Picking by Dana

Yesterday I was in our garden to manicure it and I picked some of our strawberries.  We have 5 strawberry plants in pots.  They are so sweet.

The Color Purple by Dana

Elegant and delicate is the color purple

Lovely in vain yet powerful to the eye drawn by the scent of gracefulness the color purple is elegant and delicate

As a flower is wrapped with the royal color of purple

 it's elegance is derived by the need of growth, sun and water

  The color purple elegant and delicate yet strong willed

 to survive the naturalness of natures pest

How lovely it is to be purple
