This week, I share with you, a Haiku…
It’s good in gravy
And also good with pasta
Delicious herb: Sage.
Citizens of America…we are in the middle of a HEAT WAVE. Who you gonna call to help your garden survive? There’s only one option: SUPER LYLA!

Sarah Milston
Back by popular demand – the kid. This week she is showing off her green beans. They are her favorite vegetable and most have been consumed raw and in the garden. She loved them so much we have planted four successive plantings. We are planning to save seeds and finally got some to go all the way brown on the bush (in her right hand) – between the squirrels and the kid – it has been tough.
July in Virginia is all about saving the garden from the heat. With my myriad assortment of containers it is hard to stay on top of watering. So I figured, they sell those cute handblown water bulbs – but wouldn’t a glass bottle work the same? So I grabbed some vintage bottles from my grandfather’s shop and rotate them through the containers. Here you see patio tomatoes and lemon cucumbers. These are nestled on the porch next to the trellis.

There is nothing like some eggplant to get you in the mood for eggplant parmesan or grilled eggplant! Even though it has no nutrition value, dang it makes me and my family hungry! Speaking of hungry…
We made this the other night from our squash and zucchini. It was, um, delicious! Also, for you gluten-free people (including my wife), that’s an almond flour crust so its safe for you too!

Sarah! I love the old vintage bottles!!! And I love that you continue to be creative and reuse old items to solve your gardening needs instead of purchasing new items.
I am always a bit in a quandry as everyone deserves to win this! But have to vote for “Super Lyla” seeing as I am her “Super Sassy”! OH, which means I vote for Super Ryan and his super garden too!!
♫♫Parsely, sage, rosemary and Ryan ♪♪♫♫
All the way with the Milston garden!
Pharr this week.
Sarah Milston and her ingenuity have my vote!
I vote Super Lyla Smartt. Not only did she help water the garden, but she helped separate the laundry. (When does Laundry Wars begin?)
Sarah gets my vote! The vintage bottles are the perfect touch!
Ingenious Sarah!
Super Lyla wins my vote!!! YAY Smartt!
The haiku and superhero cape did it for me – the Smartt’s have my vote!!
SARAH MILSTON all the way!
I have to go with Sarah again this week. I just love the creativity! In a million years I wouldn’t have thought to use the vintage bottles! Let alone grow cucumbers on my porch! And anyone that can get a kid to eat beans right off the vines is a super hero in my book!
Milston’s!!!!! This garden makes me giddy ;) awesome work!
Milston! I’m heading home tonight and rigging my patio tomato plants with some water-bottle action! Who needs rain when you’ve got vintage bottles?
Milston! Anyone that can keep a garden alive in this heat is a hero to me!
I vote for Ryan’s haiku and Super Lyla! Very creative!
I vote for Ryan Smartt and Lyla!
