green

 I am joining up with Gussy for her Inspiration Workshop. Each week we get a different prompt & this week’s prompt is: green!

as you know. I have a brown thumb {literally too}. I told you about how I've tried gardening before. I'm horrible at it. I've really been trying this year. it's a little hard with a little 1 yr old girl who hates grass. but I'm really, really happy with it this year. I also can't wait til next year because I know it'll be even better then! :) but for now I thought I'd share my beautiful greenery with you! 

we've got tomatoes of course! just 3 plants

{shirtless D in the back} we also had some green beans but they didn't make it past the freezing temps at the beginning of last month. also some cucumbers, yellow squash, corn {didn't get a pic of those, not much to look at yet}

basil

can you say PESTO?! what about gourmet grilled cheese! with fresh picked basil, & tomatoes?! wish I could plant some bacon! ha!

and my mommy's favorite!

they'll be absolutely perfect when it's time for her birthday :)

Sunflowers!

The ones on the far right are the red-ish ones! can't wait to see those bloom!

can't wait to bring them in & make bouquets :)

I feel like I'm up to my eyeballs in superhero capes

but it's a good thing..

. I enjoy making each & every single one.
