Garden mid summer

 We've been enjoying a bounty of sweet corn, capsicums, carrots, tomatoes, and a few sneaky potatoes from the front yard garden.  It's looking rather lush compared to the backyard at the moment, as it gets most of the attention.
 Drought tolerant sedums and lavender cotton are going gangbusters in front of the house.
 The empty looking tub has baby leeks in it for winter.
 Potatoes growing tall, with a few echinacea popping up behind.

Your front yard is look decidedly better than mine Alicia. I did this to one particularly overgrown and Ivy ridden part of mine last weekend: http://d.pr/i/9hRP

Are you going to plant some veggies in there Wes?

Yes Bella likes to hang around and keep and eye on things when I'm working outside. I haven't decided what to plant in there yet. Given the absence of rain (hasn't rained here properly for 2 or 3 months) I'm holding off putting anything thing in there for now.

Some herbs and veggies are an idea I hadn't considered, but does seem like a good idea. I'll keep it in mind.
