Garden Progress...

May 15th I planted all my

tiny little vegetable plants

in my new raised planters 

that my wonderful husband made for me. 

In a month these little guys grew so nicely...

I've planted....tomatoes, celery,

tons of parsley, peppers, several types of lettuce,

spinach, kale, chard, 

brussels sprouts, sweet pea pods,

cucumbers, radishes, lots of basil,

beans, strawberries and carrots.

I love the lush green rows of leaf veggies...

I planted little bunches of flowers in the veggie

bed to add little sparks of color

and prettiness.

Then a few solar lights here and there!

I swear you can see the tomatoes growing!

At sunset I love how the pine trees cast

long shadows across the lawn.

And I finally have my greenhouse up!

So thrilled!

I doodled out how I want the
beds around the greenhouse
to go for my herb garden

we are still working on the front
waiting for some of the sprinkler heads
to be moved.

I put together my birthday potting bench.
It's so pretty I don't want to get it dirty.

We planted a few aborviteas around the deck.

This area is still not completed but

they needed to get in the ground to get

the roots established before winter.

I wanted them differently placed but our yard is a

maze of electrical lines, sewage lines.  It's

crazy all the things we have to work around!

We have had lots of slate stone delivered.  

It will be used

around our pond and landscaping.

This is the view of the yard from our
walk out basement.
Our goal is to emulate this....

Ahh can't you imagine the sounds of birds
and a gurgling fountain... just steps outside
my pottery studio.  That is the plan and the
future dream!

So the next step will be having concrete 

patio done and pond dug!

Did I mention we have only been in

this house 7 months!

So much has be accomplished

thanks to my husbands hard work

Sooo Grateful!

I get to do the fun stuff

like planting flowers!
