Let's Grow

So. It's obvious that I didn't post for the past two days, instead enjoying my Saturday with both of my boys and my Sunday at a bridal shower. Suffice to say, I'm quitting the 365 blog challenge. I'm four months in and the thought of blogging just.....UGH. It kills me. I have to force myself, and I don't feel that this should be something that I force myself to do.


SO.


Forgive me, I've failed, but I hope you stick around. I'm still planning on posting quite a bit and I'd love to keep all of you around for the ride :)


In other news, I've started to garden again. And for the sake of all plants involved, I hope it doesn't end like it did last year.

This year, I was smart enough to grow my seeds in this nifty little growing pack, pretty much ensuring that even if I did spill them (or if Eddie spills them...who I'll probably blame even if  I drop them) my little seedings will be safe. Also new this year is the fact that I'm growing vegetables, which I plan to then transplant into the raised garden that Hubby is planning to build.

{look at my little seeds all cozy in their houses!}

{oh! look! a nice cover to keep them all cozy, too!}

{the green house thing that the top created popped those seeds up quick...this is less than a week later!}

My garden will soon include:

Tomatoes

Cucumbers

Bell Peppers

Green Beans

Strawberries

Cilantro

Parsley

Sage

Oragano

Thyme

Basil

Chives

(if I don't drop the seedlings or forget to water them, that is)

{some of the herbs that I bought as plants, which will be moved to the raised bed later}

{and my strawberries, which are happily growing in the back}

{oh! grow, babies, grow!}

{they love growing in the Topsy-Turvy Strawberry planter!}
{ps - omg - those weeds are out of control!}

And of course, my plants from last year are welcoming Spring early by introducing some new blooms for us :)

{my lilacs. possibly the best smell on the planet.}

{my climbing roses are even coming back....shocker!}

{woooo this picture makes me a little dizzy}

{but it was cool so I had to include it}

{the hydrangeas that I stole from my friend Nicole's house, who now lives in Germany but can enjoy her hydranges through my blog!}

{and even my ground cover is popping out these beautiful little purple flowers, which make me smile any time I see them}

Of course, I'm not the only one who enjoys the beauty of my plants.

{Ha! You thought it was going to be Eddie, didn't you?}
