First Mow, A Fire, Growth, And Flowers

Well, we finally set up the Coleman fire pit/BBQ, and had a nice fire last night. Felt like home, considering our landlords at the last house didn't want us to have fires (even though I explained I was an ex Firefighter, wildland and structure! Jeesh!), so we are so happy to have them back! Set up the Picnic table because the lawn was finally mowed and is ok to put things on already! Looks very nice, and the sod is secure in the ground....that was pretty quick!

Here is a picture of the nice fire at night....

Here is what the garden is looking like with the newly mowed lawn. I'm loving it, and it's really "growing" on me! :)

Here is the growth so far! There is red potatoes, garlic, onions, strawberries, a huge variety of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, corn, canteloupe, broccoli, cauliflower, two varieties of eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini. There are so many herbs, I won't list them right now!



A closer view...I love how the potato plants look, I've always loved the deep dark green of those leaves! (bottom left of picture).

Here is a pretty Oregano plant...with mint on the left.




I am excited about how wonderfully the corn is growing! I thought I'd lost most of it in the frost after I planted, but it's come through real strong!

The pretty potato plant! Yummy red potatoes are growing slowly under there!

My Pansies!

Snapdragons, Violas, Zinneas...

I painted a bit of Chalkboard paint on this small sitting bench in our entry way...
