GOING GREEN



It's been so beautiful lately. Every weekend we find ourselves spending the entire time working outside. All 3 of us really enjoy it. Miker's main project is the veggie garden and the grass. He's planted carrots, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage and all sorts of different types of lettuce. He's growing some from seeds and some he bought already grown a bit (which I think is the way to go). They are just getting started but here is what they are lookin' like:


My project has been an area in the backyard. The people that lived here before had a huge bird atrium in this area so when they moved out and removed it left was a big area of dirt. This has been the first opportunity for us to do some planting so I decided to turn it into a mini jungle. Here are some before and after pics:


I've planted some beautiful succulents, lilies and a variety of shrubs and other greenery.
We also discovered we have a gardenia bush!



We are really diggin' this home owner stuff!!

One of these weekends we'll have to actually relax! Hmmm, I think I need to start scouting out a place for a hammock...
