The whole garden. The hose/sprinkler is set up with our automatic sprinkler system. There's a dedicated water line in the garden- whoever set this up did us a major favor.
I was unsure of the watermelon. It cost $1.50 and consisted of two tiny leaves. It's doing fine now!
Our lettuce finally looks like lettuce.
We've planted a ton of tomatoes, but I'm really excited about our upside down tomatoes. Thanks for the planter, Uncle Don!
Mint. It's coming back just fine from last year. We mostly put it in our tea, but I'm looking for other uses this year.
The basil has been very successful as well. So far I've just added it to tomato sauce, and plan to have a lot of tomato basil salads when the tomatoes come in. Any other ideas would be appreciated!
Our front- I just planted the flowers in the boxes today.
A close up of the pretty flower thing I picked up at yard sale two years ago.
My newest yard sale find- the birdhouse was on the pole, but Kirk took it off so it will be easier for me to paint. I was going to paint it today, but it was WAY too hot. Tomorrow it will be painted, and this weekend I will fill it with geraniums.
This is not the garden, but it's still pretty neat. That's Kirk holding Charlotte. Her mother Amber is by him, and she's petting Snapple, her new mini-horse. He's pretty funny and likes to be brushed.
