shower of sky dimonds!


Hey everyone sorry about not being very active! i have been very busy and it has been raining!!! :( But, i finally got some pretty great pictures, of the after rain effects! The rain drops looks like jewelry on the plants, the way the light reflects is really inspiring!
here are some photos of these natural sky jewels...










Also these pictures where taken on April 18th. i didn't have a chance to post them because my friend and i decided to make a Julia child chocolate cake... it was going great, and looking really yummy. we where pressed for time because we had a party to go to but some how we got lucky and were way ahead of our schedule! it was turning out pretty until.... we put on the last outside strip of chocolate.... AND I DROPPED IT!!!!!!!


isn't pretty?

it was before....
so we picked it up off the ground (shown above)
and i did something i have ALWAYS wanted to do...
I slamed my face into it!
It was ALMOST worth the 5 hours of making it!

Two week mark!


This is what all i have in my garden! I planted all of the plants on April 3rd and i took all of these pictures on April 17th! everything is growing so fast!

Plum tree. we have two trees!

Strawberry topsy-turvy holding lots of tomatoes! we ran out of room in out garden so we decided to try to plant supersweet100 and celebrity tomatoes. i will let you know how it turns out... because if so, then it holds a lot more than the one tomato topsy-turvy.
Swiss Chard! there are some really gorgeous colors in my garden!
Gourmet salad mix. this one here has sprouted two more stalks from just one!
Strawberries! they grew in just 2 weeks!

We have a peach tree and two plum trees, and one hole in the ground... if anyone has any recommendations on what tree to plant please post a comment! we only can have one so it needs to be able to self fertilize!
thanks!

New growth

NEW GROWTH

When you watch something grow you don’t realize its actually growing until you compare it with a picture. When I got my puppy at first I was concerned that she wasn’t growing, but then when i looked at some old pictures I realized just how much taller and how mature she was. Now you must think what does this have to do with anything? well, here is an example of how this ties into my garden...

April 3rd:
As you can see the squashes are smallish

April 13th: thats just 10 days!

so yes you and I can both see that everything growing madly!

On Friday i will be measuring so i can compares even more. Tomorrow i will be making a page of everything i have.

sorry for the short blog its late and my heads going to explode!

* Some of yall are having trouble commenting... all you have to do is go under the post that you want to comment on and click the purple letters and TADA! type away...
