yard stuff

Thank goodness for blooming flowers!



Ground cover roses.


The deer didn't totally kill this rose bush. Slowly nursing back to health.


New yellow rose bush to replace a bush the deer demolished.


David Austin's Generous Gardener always does well and stays healthy!


Did you know if you cut a grafted rose back too severely you can end up with a different color? The deer killed this bush too, so I cut it back to the remaining live growth. Strange that they grafted a white rose with this dark red. It's kind of fun to have a totally new rose in my garden though!


Our veggie garden is coming along. Still need to build a bamboo trellis for the climbers, but should have plenty of time this weekend for that. Currently planted: several types of tomatoes, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, brussel sprouts, edamame...I think that's it. Oh and some herbs. Also on the list of to do items is to seed last years veggie bed with tons of flower seeds! I'm hoping to use it for cut flowers all summer!


Baby front news: still exhausted most of the time. Typically start feeling really nauseous in the evenings, so I just go to bed to try and sleep through that most nights. Can't wait to get some energy back and feel a little more normal. Next appointment is in two weeks!

Yay! Love the pics! You and Lisa always give me inspiration. Maybe one day I will be able to do something of that caliber. In the mean time I accept any unwanted veggies and flowers!
