front yard action

So, I decided this weekend that I wanted to redo my front yard. It's small I thought. I can easily tackle this by myself in a long afternoon. Well, yes, it's small. But, it took the whole weekend to do this by myself, not just a long afternoon. I'm sore and ache all over, but I do like the end result. You'll see I need just a few more pieces of sod.

veggie tales

My first garden!

If I had to plant my veggies in 5-gallon buckets, I wanted them to be cute. So, I painted them.



I also have a first blossom on one of my creole tomato plants!


Cucumber plants, not pictured, had a battle with a roly-poly troop. Plants didn't fare too well. Dead.
