Trying to stay busy and eat healthy all at the same time----one of the easiest and most enjoyable things we've done this year! Matthew's been a busy guy building these raised beds--even though we have the land, the drainage is a killer and we lose more plants than survive, so we went mostly raised beds this year. Here are some pix of our gardens----soon to be filled with tomatoes, peppers (5 types), cucumbers, squash, onions, potatoes, radishes, etc----also pix of our herb garden--I'm very proud of this because I have been totally "winging it" and it keeps coming back and I get to use all of these herbs in cooking! YUM! Matthew enjoyed making the stepping stones with our neighbor David last year. The other pix is a box filled with 3 types of lettuce--guess what we are having for dinner??!? Also, tonight as I went out to take these pictures---look what I saw slithering across our driveway! YIKES!!!! luckily a great neighbor came over after hearing me scream like a little girl and scooped him up and tranferred mr snake to the end of the road. The gorgeous flowering plant is a lenten rose given to me by a dear friend a few years ago and it is finally blooming--they take a few years to bloom and settle in---I thought I had killed it, and instead it rewarded me by the beautiful sight this year.
Looks beautiful Peggi! Your efforts are putting mine to shame - I have just finished planting a 4 x 4 square with carrots, beans and squash.
