The Newest Plant in the yard!!



It's called a butterfly bush. I love butterflies!

  While at the hardware store I always look at the garden section for discounted plants. And I found this butterfly bush. A little old man was standing there and said he has one in his yard and they look great all year and get pretty big and bushy. That's perfect for a yard with nothing in it right. Well let's see how green our thumbs are. Chris planted it and it kinda blends in with the grass in the picture. I think he picked a good spot for it, right near the deck.

It has the most beautiful flowers.

 Garden Time!

Our tomatoes are growing great. They love the sandy soil and sunshine.

This is an eggplant. It's a variety I've never tried. Looks like we're going to get at least one anyway.

This is suppose to be a cucumber.

This is our other cucumber. Some one told me they are suppose to be a vine. Maybe next year I'll have a fence for them.



Bell peppers are doing great.





We finally got a squash. I think the ants or some other bug was taking off with the flowers right after they bloomed. So this makes us happy.



 I think we were too late for broccoli. They don't look so good. We'll try them again in the fall.

Traditional egg plant flowers.

 Banana pepper. Garden doesn't look so great from this angle.

 More peppers.



 This is my container garden. They are still alive. They've been in there now for a while.



Even though the cold hit hard last year the fig tree made a come back and we already have some figs.

I may not have the best gardening skills in the world but I'm learning and fresh veggies actually do taste a lot better. So... I'm not going to give up. Hopefully, some day, one plant at a time, my yard will be a lush garden that people will want to actually look at instead of a little patch in a sea of grass.
