Below is a picture of the numerous veggies and flowers that we planted in starter trays. We planted these a week and a half ago...I am amazed at their progress! They are about ready to go in the ground, so we have to get our beds all fixed up this weekend. These trays have: cucumbers, squash, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, okra, corn, spinach, lettuce and various flowers. Obviously, I have grand plans for a 'salad garden'.
Below is my less impressive herb garden. I started these a week before the seeds in the tray. Lesson learned...those trays kick butt. Regardless, I have cilantro, chives, and rosemary??? I'm not sure which is why there are pieces of paper stuck in the pot to remind me. I very fancily labeled the veggie trays with sticker labels.
This next picture is probably a sin to any rose gardener. I bought these roses from wal-mart several weeks ago and Daniel stuck them in a garbage can with a little water until we get our bed done. Amazingly, they have grown and leafed out! Can't wait to see what they do when we actually take care of them. There is a white rose bush and a coral colored rose bush (can't remember their actual names...once again a sin, I'm sure).
This is a picture of one of the first blooms on our sweet olive bush. I may be crazy, but I think the bush smelled sweeter before the blooms? Anyways, I love them and get so excited every time a new sweet little cluster blooms.
These are the red azaleas that we planted in the front of the house. I was late taking a picture and some of the blooms are a little droopy, but I'm crazy about them anyway! Home depot has azaleas on sale 2 for $3 this weekend, so I'm going to get more and put them every place i can!
These are my pink azaleas planted under our breakfast window. I thought I wasn't going to be crazy about the color, but, once again, I love them. They are the one bright spot in the backyard at the moment and make me smile!
I hope you have enjoyed your journey through our half-assed gardening extravaganza! I pray that I have pictures on Monday of a beautiful, formal backyard with a bricked 'firepit' area, brick raised flower beds, and lots of new plants. That being said, I pay yard workers with food and beer if you are interested...
Off the subject, cause I'm a girl, I just want to say that I really love my husband. Our one year wedding anniversary is just a month away and I can honestly say I love Daniel now more than ever. Lately we have been spending our Friday nights having a nice dinner at home together, drinking, dancing, singing, being silly...and it has been fabulous. How wonderful is that I love to spend time with my husband? Ok, I'm done now. Thanks for letting me velveeta all over you.

You are freaking Betty Homemaker. One day maybe I will be as good as you. Awesome work on the yard and on your garden. Mine looks like a pile of weeds and nothing growing in it is anything I would care to taste. I should have been more organized - like you. I will blog about yard stuff tomorrow - you inspire me.
Susan, your yard is gorgeous and your seedings spectacular! I can't wait to see how all your weekend work turned out.
