garden and Trip to Chris and Jeans

I'm finally posting pictures of this weekend. I don't know where all the time has gone. I've been planting and doing yard work the last 3 days so my time is flying by. We went to Chris and Jeans over the weekend and had a really good time. I didn't take many pictures so sorry about that. We were too busy having fun. We hit a lot of yard sales and I hit pay dirt on things I didn't even know I needed. HA!!! We went swimming and lots of gabbing and checking out the garden and I'm learning about different flowers. Jean gave me a bunch of flowers and lots of great ideas on how to plant seeds.My neighbors comment was when Chris gets home he's going to think I opened up a nursery. I have pots and make shift can pots all over the place. I am starting many things out from seed. It keeps me going and it teaches Leia to like the outdoors instead of the T.V. She enjoys helping me water and plant the seeds. She also loves to dig in the dirt just for the fun of it. So my garden and plants give me some good mommy and Leia time too.
If I bore you with all my pictures of my garden I'm Sorry. BUT here they are anyway. HA!!!
Here are some more pictures of my garden. Look how much things have grown in such a short time. Yes I know I need to weed. But some of them are seeds and I'm not sure which is which My mothers day gift to myself . I've never seen a Geranium like this before.
This is my Morning Glories. They've gotten so big. Leia started these out from seed, I've transplanted a few of them so the smaller ones can grow.


I planted herbs the tall ones are Cilantro. These seeds are only 1 week old.


My garden growing a little bit
I got an umbrella clothesline so the pole beans can grow up it and make a canopy.I got this great idea from Jean and a few days later I found one cheap at a consignment store. My blackberries in bloom and up front you can see a bean that I threw in there thinking it was dead has started to grow so I am wrapping it around the white fence.

My Calla Lilly is growing like wildfire


The white fencing that I got for free at the Airman's Attic. I love it. Makes the garden look nicer.


Plants that Jean gave me from her garden . I spent all day Monday and a good part of Tuesday planting them.



Chris and Leia swimming. They had such a great time.


We tried to get the sailboat out but it was too windy.
