A quick lilac update

I finally picked up a couple little bitty plants..... a tomato, some cilantro & a lemon balm.  I plugged the tomato and cilantro into the barrel on the decklast year the darn deer came up the front steps, across the porch, down the steps onto the enclosed porch and ate my salad garden.  Sigh.  I have NO IDEA what else is in this barrel..... some seeds got scattered at some point.  Or maybe it is weeds.... wait and see.....

Here's my sad lilac slash whatever-it-is tree......  still not blooming.... t-minus 10 days until July....

Here's a shot from the other side.  Hot got crazy with the chain saw and cleared things out.... makes a great little fort for the kids.  And, yes, that IS my internet cable there at the bottom of the photo.... what?
