June 5th

These potates grew in less than a week, they're 6 inches already

My handiwork today...the hydrangea bush cut down by half

Steph and I walked down to gwynne vaughan park for their plant sale which was really nice.

We got strawberry shortcake and tea and sat in the beautiful garden, I'm really bummed I forgot my camera

But I did take a picture of the four (4!) tomato plants I got for a dollar (1!...1!) each

They are: stupice, prudens purple, golden nugget, and juilet

I just LOVE the beautiful pink color of these roses

I made the halfway cookies again for a boy at shane's work, I think it's the first person who's ever paid me to bake for them!

Erin Natasha and I went for vietnamese for lunch today. Their chicken noodle soup belongs on my list, it was so good!

All and all a wonderful outside day, (I even wore my new dress!)

Steph's Grad! June 3rd

Can you believe it?

I made steph's cake from this recipe

These cookies are pretty good

This banana bread was the best I've ever made I think

Garden update taken on May 31

These pictures were taken on May 31, and we've had so much rain that I'll try and take some more tomorrow and show you the huge difference.

The leeks are doing really well and the onion aren't dead...lol, they're not growing much, but they take a while anyway.

The beans are growing well.

The peas too, growing like mad

The parsley is taking over the rosemary, so much better than last years parsley

And the swiss chard I've started thining

My basil's leaves are turning yellow, I think it might be to much water

And the potatoes have sprouted

The oregano and thyme look so good, even last years have come back well

Both the eggplant and cucumbers have grown a bit. Not a lot though

This is our biggest strawberry so far

And I don't know why but my kale is so spindaly...ideas anyone?

My romaine is only doing a slight bit better than it was

The arugula is okay

The dill is nuts, It grows at least an inch a day

The carrots have all come through nicely

The beets are really cute

The three tomato plants are doing very good.

Five shallots have come up, two are still MIA

My spinach is really not coming up, I know it's a little late to plant, but I've only got about 5 good sprouts out of a whole row

The broccoli on the other hand is coming in nicely

Of the four pepper plants only the one in the back is doing very poor, it's being eaten by something and hasn't grown at all

Summer squash and zucchini are both growing well
