Garden Update!!

Saturday, April 28, 2012

I have been so busy around here with gardening. I love being outdoors, and I love the house looking pretty too! Its been a rainy few days so I haven't been able to get out and weed and tinker around but there were a few glimpses of sunshine here and there.. allowing me to plant a few more plants!

To read this post in full, click the link to the left!




I planted 2 containers of these 



pretty yellow flowers. I am so sorry I lost the makers on these but I got them at Walmart. They are a Better Homes and Gardens flower.. and 3.99 a pot.. I got 6.. 3 for each container. I added them to the back deck to put a little color out there. I think they are really pretty! 

I also planted 


some 

cucumber plants.. Husby LOVES cucumbers.. so had to plant something for him too! I planted them in a window box and just sat it on the deck because they will end up vining over.. so hopefully this work just fine for them!

The herbs are doing great in the front of the house.. 


Here is the 


Basil and Green Onions.

On the back left is some English Thyme, the back right is Cilantro, Top left is Oregano, and in the top right corner is the sweet mint. 
 And right by

Mint ( front left ) is the Rosemary ( front right )


I put a sweet little hanging sign.. 

 

I also planted this creepy flowery grass in the corner 


hoping that it vines over the bricks


I put another cute little froggy welcome sign up 


Gosh.. those tall trumpet kind of flowers are pretty! 


Our 4 tomato plants are also doing great! 

Along with the 


Ferns 


and hanging flowers.. 


Everything is growing great and looking really nice. Its helped that its rained.. where I haven't had to water! 

I also picked up 


some Miracle Gro Potting Mix and Plant food. I wanted to go all Organic and homemade plant food but this was just so much easier.. 

Each week, I am going to buy more and more plants till I get it all done! I need to get some flowers for around the mail box next and I think I am going to get some peppers too! 

How are your yards looking?? Send in your pictures and I will share them! I would love to see your gardens and yards!
