monday. garden galore.

it rained all weekend. ALL. WEEKEND. but, between showers, there were bits of sun—and bits of gardening. it's officially taking off. i still have a few (closer to several) other things to plant, but i feel like it was quite productive nonetheless. and the lovely thing about rain (aside from not having to water) is the luscious green i miss so much.


the future chicken coop. a fresh coat of paint and a fence and she'll be good to go.

she might take over our entire house. not even two months ago she was not even out of the ground yet. it's ... aliiiiiiive.

grow, baby grow! this little blueberry bush was just a stick a few weeks ago, literally. now, the little guy has leaves!
and this little blackberry stick ... er, i mean, start—after weeks of no signs of life ... there's GREEN! that's a leaf bud, not a bug!

partner in crime #1 (jessi) ... don't let her sad eyes fool you. the rain is her favorite thing ever. and she spent an hour jumping into our dwarf cherry tree eating the teeny cherries. she was in heaven.

partner in crime #2 (kuma) ... he's every bit the punk he looks here.
soon, those little flowers will be yummy tomatoes! four different varieties: christmas grape, early girl, and i can't remember the other two. and no, those are not bugs on the stems, it's dirt ... i checked.

the apples are on! and i continue to do everything possible to be bug/worm free this year! i will win the battle.

one of our two winter apple trees. don't mind the nine foot grass jungle around it.
six zucchini, three pumpkin, and six acorn squash ... movin' right along!

if i ever complain about my yard ... it's a lie. i adore it. it might be full of weeds, impossible to keep up on, and ridiculously out of control ... but it's still lovely as ever. especially after all that rain!
