Gardening and Such

For this week, I decided to plant some lovely herbs that I got on clearance at the local grocery store. It's pretty cool because they came in their own little plastic greenhouse. The herbs I planted were basil, chives, and parsley.

I'll keep you updated on how this goes. I HOPE it works!! I really do not have the green thumb in the family. That belongs to my hubby. Here are his plants that he has kept alive and thriving for round about 2 years now!

We've also been putting together a little garden in our backyard. Since we can't actually plant things in the ground, we've got to put them into pots. The one good thing about this is that if it gets cold, it's VERY easy to transport them inside! We've got 3 pots of tomato plants, 3 zucchinis, and 1 very cute pot of strawberries. We're even starting to get a strawberry that is turning red. Thankfully, Johnny usually takes care of the garden outside, and since we are NOT in Utah, it actually rains here! which means that taking care of the garden is a little less maintenance. Oh look, it's raining right now. Good thing I already took these pics today. It's pouring out there.

Oh, and here' a little look at our backyard from our back door. I LOVE how green it is!!

I am looking forward to the day I can have garden as well. You will have to let me know how your little herb garden turns out. I have seen those before and wasn't sure if it would really work. If it does I am going to go get myself one, I think an herb garden would be so much fun!
