Lily

When starting from nothing and I mean nothing, it seems to take forever for a nice yard to grow up around you. The "yard" part is somewhat easy and quick, if you lay sod. The gardening part is helping me practice a little more patience. A beautiful landscaped, fun, colorful yard with the exact blooms and colors that I want will someday be mine.

I like to think of myself as "not a girlie girl" but I must say I do love certain flowers. Lilies and lilacs are my current favorite. I am patiently waiting for a start of a lilac bush. Not any lilac bush start, it has to be from a dark purple bush. I like the smell of any lilac, but to see the beauty of the dark ones just make me smile, if only to myself.

Peppers, Squash, Cucumbers Oh My!

Watch them grow. They are just the cutest thing ever. As you can see, some have not survived, but of course the cucumbers are growing. We don't even like cucumbers, so of course they will grow. Maybe the neighbors like them. Where's the cherry tomatoes, that's what we love, well what I love. It's the sad looking thing in the back of the picture.

2009 Garden

Starting a garden from seeds is always a gamble for me, will it work, or will I have to go to Wal-mart to buy a tomato plant? Stay tuned, so far just my banana peppers have not made an appearance, yet.
