dreaming of stuff

And of course there are veggies. So far there is a #bell pepper, an #ancho pepper, a #sweet pepper, a #creole #tomato, and today I started seeds of giant bell peppers, a tumbler tomato and #roma tomatoes. Also started a planter of a #lettuce mix! And the #orange tree is planted behind these in a pot! #garden #gardening #patio #container gardening (Taken with instagram)

Now for a tour of the new gardens. Here’s the herb garden. #container #gardening #garden #herbs #rosemary #basil #parsley #thyme #lemon thyme #lavender #mint #patio (Taken with instagram)

We grew some lettuce for Appa and he goes nuts over it…especially while listening to Brigitte (I find this hilarious).

This is adorable! I miss my little tortoise that mysteriously appeared in my garden, stayed two days and then left :( one day I’ll get another.

Made a little herb garden to take with me to the new place from cuttings from my herb garden at my moms. Planted rosemary, thyme, oregano, chives, mint and basil.

Picked some cosmos and sweet peas from the garden today. Love these colors together :)

Bet it wasn’t hard to guess what my photo a day would be for “fun”. Yep…playing in the garden :)

The lavender is doing SO good this year and I’m loving the way it looks in front of the mums :) I swear, you can buy one pot of mums and have them forever!! Just keep cutting them and they’ll keep coming back. Just love the orange and faint purple together…may have to take these with me too :p Filling up the patio already!

So many different gorgeous cosmos coming up this year!! I keep an old Ball jar full of wildflower seeds. Every time I get a new packet of flower seeds I open the packet, dump it in the jar and shake the jar up :p Then I like to just sprinkle a handful over the soil and see what comes up. I swear it’s like a present every day to see what’s new!! This year so far I have tons of cosmos, a few zinnias, and sweetpeas that haven’t bloomed yet but which are taking over everything!! When I get to the apartment, I think I’m going to get a couple of large but flat planters and just fill them with soil and sprinkle some wildflower seeds in them :) Even though I won’t have a garden in the ground I can still do the same thing in pots!

I’m spending as much time as I can in my garden at my mom’s house and you would swear I’m saying goodbye to a dear friend :p I plan on keeping up the garden here though and it’ll be a good anchor to home too! These are all of the new tomatoes popping up on the plants! Well at least some of them…I have a total of 10 tomato plants here right now…all types of different ones. These are romas, creoles, and early girls.
