my starts have been growing well for the past month or so and i decided that i was finally willing to turn them over to the elements this weekend. the weather report indicated that today was probably the best day to plant, so i got up and started planting first thing this morning. of course, it took a little longer than i thought it would to plant due to a few little interruptions (two little ones, in fact), but it is finally all in.
one of my favorite parts of living at my grandparents house is the garden set up. four large planters. i get to significantly increase my harvest this year: green beans, watermelon, spinach, carrots, basil, cilantro, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, zucchini, squash, peppers, and an entire planter devoted to five different varieties of tomatoes. hurray!
the peppers already started bearing fruit inside.
one sad thing for me about doing starts is that when i transplant them and they go into shock, they always look so sad. deep down, i know they should perk up, but i am always scared for them. i actually just went and checked on them in the dark after randy and i got home from our date.
not all of them are looking bad, though.
sugar snap peas are coming along.
the rest of our yard is also beautiful right now and i love everything that is blooming right now. a sea of purple in the front yard:
irises in the back:
roses on the side:
and a beautiful magnolia on the other side:
and my pots are still making me happy.
