Green Thumbs

Mike and I are destined to have green thumbs.

We don't yet, but they're turning green.

We've been busy this month out in the yard. Finally, after six years of living here we are getting busy. I mean how much yard work can you really do with an infant strapped to you at all times and then have a toddler learning to walk. Not much. Not much at all.

So, here we are.

We rented a tiller to get our garden started. We tilled, added new dirt, Mike built a border, put up a fence and planted lots of plants! The girls and I had fun planting seeds to watch our flowers grow.

This weekend, we are finally almost done. The veggie plants are all planted. We have tomato plants, a variety of peppers, parsley, cucumbers, zucchini, squash and green beans!

Our potted plants are looking good too. I'm in love with these green leafy plants on the corners, they are scented geraniums and are great for mosquito control. Haven't seen very many since I put these on the deck! Yay for our sweet legs :)

Our side yard now has a pretty planter with azaleas, gardenia plants and pretty shade plants :).
