That's the backyard veggie garden. I know it doesn't look like much now, but in a couple of months it will hopefully be a garden of Eden, minus the snake.

The home front
Sometimes beautiful sunny days make me feel like doing nothing but lazing around. But today I felt motivated to get things done. I planted beans, tomatoes, peppers and more lettuce and did a bunch of weeding. Then I cleaned the kitchen, went grocery shopping, made pie pastry and filling for a rhubarb pie tomorrow and pasta dough for pasta tomorrow. Read for a while in the sun... It's all good.

That's the front yard. I have no real strategy for the yard, except I don't want lawn or to have to water a lot. I also like to mix flowers and shrubs and vegetables together, like the artichoke and rhubarb that are in amongst the roses and euphorbia.

Your garden looks very nice! I know the feeling, wanting everything to grow faster...It seems like I did so much work in the beginning and It still looks almost exactly the same. Nice picture of the girls. I like Krista's shoes, and Mary's bag.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is amazing. I fear I will never be a gardener or have a nice garden. It's not that I dont want these things, I just dont have any faith in my abilities. When I was a kid my mom had me weeding one of her flower gardens, and I "weeded" this giant daisy plant. I didnt know! It didnt have flowers on it yet! I really like popping dandilions out of the lawn by their roots, though. Very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteps. Yay for my bag!!
