Watching a Garden Grow

When I bought this house the backyard was not landscaped, so when the time came to get it done I told the landscaper that I wanted a garden area. Almost a year later I'm finally planting my garden with great help from a friend.

The finished garden:



At the front of the garden we have strawberries & herbs:





The next row only has onions in it right now, but later in the week there will be some carrot seeds planted.



After the onions come the peppers, bell & jalapeno:



Finally it is the squash, zucchini & yellow squash:



And for color we have some flowers along the edge:



I'm stoked about growing my own food and my first step in gardening. Hopefully I'll have some produce to show soon!

A lack of Activity

My silence was one due to traveling. I have many stories and pictures to share from Australia, plus some knitting & cooking! Here are a couple pictures to tie you over. :-)



A picture of some of the 12 Apostles. The day was windy and cold, but the clouds were beautiful.



A koala in a tree, much better than a Kukaburra in a tree I hear. :-)



The Great Ocean Road.

All these pictures were taken along the Great Ocean Road on our day tour. It was a wonderful experience, but next time I have to be on a plane that long, I'm staying longer than 7 days!!
