my new plants

Here is the first of the season's veggies! Tomato, cabbage, cauliflower.
This is a shot of the garden-post summer. After all the old plants have been taken out and everything weeded (mostly) and ready to plant. Kinda boring and plain now, but give it a few weeks :) You can barely see the different plots that I have-this pic only shows a few of them, though.
I like to use my neighbor's red barn as somewhat of a reference when I take pics of the garden. It really shows how things are progressing to have it as a constant backdrop. (hope he does not mind)

replanting the

front bed! We moved to an older house a few years back and it seems that we have been in a never ending state of "remodeling". The house is not that old, but older than our previous -built in the early 80's but decorated in a very 70's fashion :) Think avocado, avocado, and more avocado mixed in with a bit of harvest gold and paneling :) Which I happen to like avocados- just not on my walls, sink, shower.... etc. We have done quite a bit on the inside, but still working on a bedroom, front room and finishing touches.

Back to the front garden. We have not added any shrubbery, just a few perennials to add color. But finally we have new shrubs! I am in the process of diggin' them in and it is such nice weather today.

I hope to get some before and after shots of what everything looks like.

Also, it is time now for getting the winter garden together. Along with some various seeds, I have some cabbage, tomato, and some greens to plunk in the dirt :)

Just waiting for a bit cooler weather to add some more variety.
