This weekend, Justin and I decided to add some color to our yard. However, this is not what we had in mind.
Yes, we found some shallow buried utility cables in our back flower bed as we pulled up some old (mostly dead*) shrubs. We called it in and over the course of the rest of the weekend, 3 seperate dudes came and we now have 3 different colors of spray paint throughout our backyard. with flags! We weren't really given any direction on whether we can plant our new shrubs or not. So for now, they will stay in pots.Other than that, it was a great weekend! There is a rose bush (orange) and lantana in the front flower bed that should look beautiful together once they are in full bloom.
Things that cheer me up: a really good book, electric blankets, hot chocolate from IHOP, game night, naps in the sunshine
Today's Question of the Day? is:
If you had ideal conditions, what would you grow in a vegetable garden?
Love,
The Asker

The lesson from my remodeling project is "just leave it all alone". The number of "oh crap, we'll have to fix that too" that has come up has just been insane. (Did I mention we are getting a new kitchen floor. The cracked tile we've had for years was apparently being held down by the carpet on it's edge...)
I don't know which vegetables I'd grow- I love almost all of them, but hate gardening.
tomatoes! yum. lots and lots of tomatoes. If there's room, maybe some other stuff.
Ooooh!
Onions,
garlic,
brussels sprouts,
tomatoes,
red peppers,
green peppers,
peas,
beans,
potatoes,
carrots,
celeriac,
sweet potatoes,
strawberries,
blackberries,
raspberries,
cucumbers,
watermelon,
galia melon,
corn,
lettuces,
spinach
And probably others as well that I can't think of right now. Yumyum!
Everything that Tami said, along with trained attack gophers to protect our garden.
Avocado!
Concord grapes, thompson seedless grapes, poblano peppers, jalapenos, bell peppers of all colors, grape and cherry tomatoes, large sweet slicing tomatoes, crookneck squash, zucchini, Japanese eggplant, okra, green onions, vadelia onions, fennel, herbs of all sorts planted in a pretty pattern, blackberries, blueberries, cream peas, pinto beans and snow peas. Whew!
Dear The Asker,
I would grow Venus fly traps, hot dog trees, and a very long vine to reach up to the moon so I can have very delicious cheese with my croissant. Also candy bars that have golden tickets inside them tend to be my favorite.
Sincerly,
Dr. Fandango, Grower of very large vines to make jokes about moon cheese
Anne, I approve of your list, except for maybe the blackberries
Mom, oh, cantelope would be so good
Skittl, I love seeing your home remodeling pictures!
Sabrina, i love your priority! ;]
TamiJean, wait a minute, YOU'VE GOT GREEN VEGETABLES GROWING IN YOUR GARDEN! And what's a galia melon?
Mr. Moore, oo, those are very useful
Jackie, fresh avocado would be amazing to have.
2nd Mom, there will be good eating from your garden.
Dr. Fandango, I love all of your choices.
Galia melons are very sweet green melons. If you find one at the grocery store, TOTALLY NAB IT. They're delicious, and the first melon I ever liked.
