Splendid Garden

I am astounded, nearly to tears, seeing food grow from the soil in my backyard. Real, edible, plump vegetables. I watched them from seed to bloom, and I never tire of watching the tomatoes ripen on the vine. This display of nature bursting forth with and without the aid of a caring hand and plentiful garden hose, is a true miracle which our family has brought to life.

More Flowers!

A trunk full of flowers!! (and a new garden hose!!!)


Oh the joy of black eyed susans! I saw a yellow finch perched on the bud of my flowers, feeding on the seeds.


This weekend I sprayed painted my lawn chairs to match the house! They turned out fantastic!

The Garden

Hubby says "I'm going to plant a garden right here."





Me: "Yeah okay, nothing grows in this clay. You'll have to use store bought soil."





Hubby: "I am going to use this soil. And I am going to till the soil with my own hands" (Literally)





Me: "Ha Good luck!"


6 weeks later:

Green beans:





Cucumbers:





Cucumber tendrils (aren't they cute!!):

My contribution: the herbs. The parsley at the bottom of this picture has died :(




So if your tomatoes have salmonella in a few months, give me a call, we should have plenty (organic too!).
