My happy place

Since I failed miserably with just a little bit of basil last year, I'm happy to say that we actually have stuff growing in our yard this year! A lot of stuff, actually. Just look at all this veggie goodness:

Cucumbers, squash,


peppers, carrots, spinach, basil,


more cucumbers, watermelon,


corn,


tomatoes, broccoli, more peppers, chives, and strawberries.






We planted almost everything ourselves and I'm so proud to see it all growing bigger and stronger. The chives and strawberries actually just grew by themselves and were a pleasant surprise.

We also have a ton of beautiful flowers that have grown all by themselves, too. There are lots of different kids, but my favorites are the lavender and the roses.





We even have stuff growing on some of our fruit trees. I'm excited to see which trees grow what. Some of you could probably tell what they will grow just by the look of the tree itself, but not me. It's all going to be a surprise. :)



Yes, right now, our back yard is my happy place.
