poor man's gard[en]

this past friday & saturday 

jonathan and i had time to work

on our lovely garden.

of course, mr. amazing 

worked even more and added some

exciting new herbs and vegetables.

and, he was given all of the seeds

from a lovely couple we met via 

craigslist free. 

now you know why i call him mr. amazing?!

here are a few photos of our new additions

to the garden

there are three different
types of peppers, zucchini,
tons of tomatoes, lavender,
& more basil. j planted them.
he's living up to his name.
perfectly.
he even used clothes pins
to label the seeds.
sigh.
and the metal shelving unit

was trash to our neighbor. 

he was throwing it out so, of course,

we asked if we could take it. you know.

it's called the poor man's gard[en] 

for a reason.

here are a few more photos of
our backyard garden

and, we are on the second phase to our 

front yard!! we've torn out the

ugly juniper bushes 

{remember all six of them?!}

and are now beginning to prepare & cultivate

the soil for planting.

once we finish getting the soil ready 

we can move onto the third phase of our

front yard which is planting!!

and then, the final phase of 
the front yard, painting

the outside of the house. 

baby steps though.

for now, we enjoy the salvia

and other wonderful plants 

potted on our front porch.

i hope you are enjoying your tuesday.

it doesn't feel like tuesday to me

but then again my days 

have seemed off for a while.

when my life gets crazy

so do i...haha.

         ciao.

ps: mr. amazing and i are almost

at our one year anniversary.
