In My Garden 2015

I got out the good camera today and took some pictures from in my garden.  :)

Welcome to my container patio/deck garden.  You can see my lovely greenhouse in the back.  Everyone had a nice drink of H20 and the bees were happily flying around and checking things out this morning.

I even had a visitor stop for a drink at the bee station.  It was really humid/hot today here in Virginia.

Basil

Flowers I got for $1.

Blueberry bush I got for $5.

Marigolds

Do you see it?

Tiny little green beans all over the plant.  I had forgotten what I planted in here.  Last week, they had little purple flowers.

Cute green bean.  I grew these from seed.  :)

Another flower for $1.

Little  toms

This plant is loaded with tiny toms.  The smallest one is this wee little guy here.  He's about a size of a pea.  :)

Beef stake/steak toms.

Sweet cherry toms

Hibiscus flower

Squash

Flowers that were....you guessed it...$1.

New Things Monday

Granola.....I don't think I've ever had a granola I didn't like.  

I picked up a bag of Archer Farms:  Chocolate Chunk Hazelnut Biscotti Granola.

(Picture taken from google images)

This stuff is so good!!!  I like putting a little bit on top of some greek yogurt.  My husband liked this granola a lot too.  Looks like this will be on my weekly Target shopping list.  

The good thing about it is that it's on cartwheel so you can get some savings on it.  :)

2015 Garden Update- #20

So my last garden update I mentioned I had iris about to pop.  I guessed it one would pop the next day or two and it did.  :)  So pretty.

Here they all are.  

I had a bunch of plants to pot and some that needed to be repotted so I did that today.

Fresh dirt.....  :)

Here's my container garden now.

Sweet cherry tomatoes.

Big tomatoes.  :)

Happy plants

New flowers and blueberry bush.

The really leafy plants are my yellow toms I got from seed swap months ago.  :)

Pretty, pretty flowers.

At target this morning I found garden clogs for $13.  Yes, please!  I love them.

My aloe plant needed a new pot.

Here it is now.  The picture doesn't show you the side.  This aloe plant is CRAZY big.  haha

Ocean City Beach 2015

I woke up at 6am, took a shower and got dressed.  Nate was still sleeping.  I was really quiet.  I wanted to go walk on the beach and look for shells.

I found a hibiscus while walking the path to the beach.  :)

So pretty

Pretty purple light.....someone was watching over me.

I wrote in the sand.

Waves

I walked around for an hour.

Feet in the sand.

Shells

Here's some shells I found.

Nate called me when he was ready to go and he saw me on the beach from our hotel balcony.  haha

I added them to my collection when I got home.

So many pretty shells.

I didn't want to leave.  haha  But I had to go to work.
