el jardin


Our latest ongoing project has been our garden. After a lot of hard labor and money (dirt gets expensive!), we have finally completed it for this season! We originally started everything from seeds indoors in like February (not a good idea). When we had beans climbing up the chandelier in the kitchen we decided we should just wait for warmer weather and start from scratch outside. So far so good. We've got the workings of future tomatoes, pole beans, okra and cucumber. On the other side of the patio we just planted some black beans, a variety of peppers, and more okra because the other ones aren't looking so good.



So exciting! Can't wait to enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of our labor! We have fruit already developing on the cucumbers and tomatoes.


Here's a shot of the entire backyard...standing in the corner as far as the new fence would allow us to go. Check back soon for more photos of our backyard adventures!
