Garden Update May 15th

I've already learned a few things with this garden. It's nothing like I expected. I had hoped, that by now, I'd have some growth on my plants. *wrong*

On the little pellet thingy's I started the plants in, it said it was unecessary to take the filmy stuff off as the roots would grown right through. *wrong* I pulled out a couple of my green beans and noticed that the root system was still incased in the stupid little things. I then proceeded to uproot everything I had started in the house (green beans, green peppers, cucumbers, jalapenos, cabbage, and zucchini) and peel off the little casings.

I hope to see some progress in the growing aspect this week as its supposed to be warm and sunny. I just have to make sure I keep up with the watering.

My green beans on the left and zucchini on the right.

Here are my peas I started right in the garden from seed. I think they're the most hardy of the whole bunch.

This is a good shot of the whole garden and you can see my pretty tomato plants I picked up athe farmers market last saturday.

Lastly (for now) I've learned that this tool is invaluable, its a two headed Hoe/pick thingy. It's just the right size to use not only as what it was meant for. (weeding and cultivating) but its perfect to use as a walking stick in the garden. As you see in the pic above I've got little stepping stones, but my larger feet dont' exactly balence real well on them. This thing saved me from stepping off in the mud a few times today. ;)

That's all on the garden for now so I thought I'd add a few more pics of the Mother's Day weekend of which I got to spend with Mom and Dad. It rocked.

This is the hummingbird feeder I got for her, (I got myself one too as you can see by the pic, obviously this isn't the one I got her, it's being shipped to Oregon.)

I also sent this windchime with it, obviously I got myself one too. :D

This was a cute little Johnny Jump up that I saved and planted in a pot for Sam. She's thrilled she has her own potted plant for outside.

I on the other hand, am thrilled with my pretty red Gerbera Daisy that was my gift from my Mom. :)

This is a shot of the table right now. The pink Gerbera is for Beth, my Sister In Law, a gift from my Mom also.

Here's some of the stuff I have out front of my house, my Mother's day from Tim. All pretty new plants to accent the not so pretty house.

Colius (sp) and some sort of Dragawhatchamacallit grass for the center. When they fill in it'll be beautiful.

Here's a shot of the two larger planters and my birdbath, which I transfored from a fountain and with a little silacone made a nice bath for the birdies that I don't have to plug in. :)

LOVED this daisy. I've never seen a white daisy with a purple center. So unique. Had to have it.

Dahlias in the smaller pots out front.

Here are the new flower beds Mom and Dad helped me put in. I have Moss Rose, Galardia, and Lupine planted in here. Also on the far left I have my pumpkin patch.

Lastly here are the baskets I planted, the first one I had, the second was another present from Mom. Can't wait for them to fill in.

New Family pics

Mom and Pop come to visit!

Love this shot of Dad and Levi!

Taught the Parents how to play Settlers of Catan!

Mom and Samie got wallpaper hung in the bathroom!

Mom's knee highs... Samie's thigh highs! HA!

We did the zoo thing on Thursday!




Helped Grandma do some cooking, with new aprons even!

We had such a great time. I wish I would have taken more pictures but you know how it goes. I'm really lookin forward to going out to Oregon in September. Hope I can justify a new camera by then :)

Oh and here's a shot of our teaparty we had, so special Mom got us a new tea set. Now I just have to find creamer and sugar things and maybe a new tray.

Garden Update 4/25

Here are the newest shots of the garden. We got our chicken wire fence up. I planted some green beans because they were getting too leggy in my house.

I didn't get a gate up however, because the fencing was too short, I waited until we did Nicholle's garden so I'd have an open package of wire, to rig a gate up. So the 3 days there was not gate, two of my green beans got snipped up by something. Needless to say there is now a gate up. Don't ask what Micah was doing in there, no idea.

I've got Marigolds (apprently they detract rabbits) around the edge (seeds anyway). and there are probably 14 green bean plants (YUM!) 2 Zuchinni plants, 2 cabbage, 5 jalapeno's, 5 cucumbers, 6 green peppers. I'm going to be going to the farmers market for mature tomato plants which will go in that unwatered are you see below.

I found the cutest weather vane at Jo-Ann's yesterday for 1/2 off. So I picked that up and hung my new windchime Tim found for me on it. I also decided that I couln't just "call" it my Lucky Penny Garden. It needed a sign.
