More garden pics

Just like I promised...here I am again! with pictures! I'm sorry they're all pretty crappy--I rarely bother to get the camera out. My iPhone takes okay pictures, so that's what I use! Here are additional pictures of the garden and other pieces of the front yard. Here's the garden from the front porch--usually where I sit when I get home from work.


This is the right side of the front yard, including our adorable house numbers. I didn't think I could love house numbers so much, but I do! Our CPI plant is thriving!!


More pics of the garden!


Our Crepe Myrtle in the front yard. I just pruned it the other day, so now it has a cute weeping look, which I love!


My tomatoes are coming out already! These are going to be yellow grape tomatoes called Sungolds--and they are delicious!!


When Jim came home from Richmond, he came back with this little guy from our friend and awesome potter Tasha McKelvey! He's so cute!!!


More veggies growing on the front steps. Tomato and squash!


Two types of peppers: a jalepeno, and one called a Big Jim! I had to get it!! Lavender and a surprise growing in the little pots. Everything we've planted has been started and cared for organically. No chemicals, except for H2O, have been used in the making of this garden! I do use Neem Oil to keep the pests away, but it is also organic--also great for your gums and scalp! Haha! I sound like a crazy person sometimes!!


I have so enjoyed starting and caring for my garden. It's so relaxing to come home and watch how everything has grown. Things are really thriving and it's so rewarding to see my efforts actually turn in to something!

Who else has a garden? What are you growing? How are things looking?
