Hydrangeas

I LOVE Hydrangeas and was so happy to have a nice mature bush in the front corner of the yard

here at the rental house.

We have enjoyed cutting the blooms and placing them around the house. Doesn't the house just feel so much more alive with fresh flowers scattered about?

The color variations are so beautiful!

So what is your favorite flower?

Blooms

First Harvest

The kids were able to harvest something from their garden for the first time today! They were super excited the banana pepper was ready....

and they counted 13 tomatoes of various sizes on their 4 tomato plants.

This weekend we will plant even more veggies...Oh how we love homegrown summer veggies!

So what is in your garden?

Little Farmers

My little farmers are so excited to see some tomatoes and peppers growing on their plants.

They (nor I) can wait till we can harvest these fruits and vegetables!

The Kid's Garden

This weekend, we started planting vegetables in the kids garden.

This is not where we intend to have a garden every year, but this is where the water is located! Right now, we only have water at the road, so we decided to use some of the flower bed for the vegetable and herb garden.

As it is, when we water our new pecan trees, we have to fill up a 15 gallon container and drive it to where they are planted!

Do you know how hard it is to pick up 15 gallons of water? Me either, but my sweet husband could tell you...IT IS HARD WORK!

Hopefully in the coming months, we will be able to run water lines out to the shed. Until then, I think this is the perfect place for the garden...wouldn't you say?
