garden update

who's got two thumbs that are green??

THIS GIRL!

or maybe this girl's husband!

or maybeee it's too early to tell and everything will flop today after posting this!

who knows! :)

you may remember this POST

when we finally planted the garden

and hub got busy tearing apart re-doing our side yard!

[if not - go take a peek so you can see the progression!]

this is how it looks now! ain't she a beaut'! 

when we got back from Myrtle

i was ASTONISHED to see how BIG my plants had gotten!

we should have some fruit/veggies SOON! 

or at least, i'm hoping!

check out these 'mater plants. 

HOLY!

& check out that wittle strawberry!

now, i don't know the SLIGHTEST about strawberries 

and definitely picked up these plants for .50cents on the clearance rack!

so just the fact there is a fruit on the plant makes me happy!

even if it never turns red! ;]

cute little flower on my zucchini plants!

and here is what our side yard looks like now!

check out that GRASS!

and all that fun area for kullen to run around and explore.

in the previous post, i didn't get that great of a 'before' shot 

but - it was ALL woods and NO grass! 

PTL for grass seed! ;]

[and a husband who waters the lawn even when we're under tornado watches!]

yard work

here is what we did over the holiday weekend! :)

got our BUTT'S in gear - finally!

the front garden bed is mostly done. i need to pick up a few more small plants to line the walkway!

i still have a lot of work to do on this. if you notice - the 'bed' [left] goes all the way up to our door and it's totally bare. we don't get much sun because of the big trees so i need to plant something that can survive with little sunlight! 

pictured: three in the back are a type of azela! 

middle are two different kinds of lillies!

and up front - lining the walk way - are English daisy's!

this is our first year planting - fingers crossed that SOME survive! 

veggie's are planted :)

i also didn't realize how big this bed was so i'm going to need to pick up a few more things [more cucumbers, green peppers and maybe some onions] to fill 'er up!

i for see lots of margherita pizza's in my future :)

&& mr. poag turned our jungle into yard with great potential! we cleared it ALL out - which was A LOT of shrubbery and CRAP - and laid grass seed down so hopefully we have some greenery soon! 

dontcha' think a swing set would be perfect there?!

or a koi pond :)

see him hard at work ;)

ALSO!

this makes another thing crossed off my 101 list! 

WOO HOO!!!!
