Sights in Our Garden

I'm not usually an outside kind of person, but lately I've been a little more into our gardens.

Here is the pile of mulch that was delivered a few weeks ago...




It's finally gone!



Here are a few of our pots




Here is the update on our "consumables"

My veggie patch: sugar snaps, beets, carrots, green beans



Rhubarb, blueberries, tomatoes, eggplant, and herbs (lettuce and swiss chard have not yet appeared).


fig tree


red raspberry bushes


I love zinnias




and coleus and celosia are my favorites




It's amazing how drastically our house can change in just a few short months!






ps...I never finished house-cleaning the inside, and school is over on Wednesday! Oh, and I'm still waiting to drop those last ten pounds, too (just thought you should know).

  2. I love the rhubarb cookbook! thanks so much-
    should I cut off the rhubarb to the ground?
    I'm not sure if I'm going to be a successful gardener or not, just planted a few things and we'll see how they do!
    see ya soon!

  3. I just let mine die back later in the summer-as the ones underneath wilt-pull them out-if you get seed heads on the tops-pull those out, but just let it die back by itself this first year--looks like you'll have an awesome patch next year!!

  4. I so hear you on the "I'm not an outdoor girl" thing. I cannot believe the difference between your spring and winter shots.

    Good on you for giving gardening a go! Your vegies and herbs look terrific!
