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 :)

  4. Your garden looks terrific! I'd say you're doing pretty well for having an alleged brown thumb. We're going to have a yard in 2 weeks, so I can't wait to plan out a garden for next year! And I'm happy to see those sunflowers - they're a must on my list because I'm a native Kansan and they always remind me of home :)
