the life and times of the creek shanty. urban gardening in NC. barely zone 8a.

three robust jalapeño peppers hanging from their parent plant. tall, blurry trees against a clear morning sky in the background
bushy radish greens in the fore, spindly carrots in background, a white metal grid supporting red-flowering climbing beans on the right
a small planter bed with deep red salvia and several other red and orange flowers.
a blue bath towel covered with skinny red chili peppers that stretch away into the horizon
a 4’x4’ raised bed for flowers. contains ageratum, dahlias, coleus. it is almost overrun, but everything is in flower.
front elevation of a blueprint for the new house. split shed roofs, wide pergola, plenty of windows. it looks nothing like the previous home. this kind of renovation should probably begin from a complete demolition, but i like doing things the hard way.
a late 50’s brick bungalow that some misguided person painted an unfortunate gray. the lawn is a wreck. a sun porch, white, is in bad shape.
neighbors standing in a road at sunset after a long rain. to the left, a flooded park. to the right, flooded yards.
