Yesterday we planted the green beans and peas.

We put a few pumpkins out front to vine along the flower bed



Also, we MDH finished digging the horsetail out front and added some more succulents...

new shower curtain & a rug in progress


Our plain old boring white shower curtain gets shorter everytime I wash it.  And since it was white & the dirty dog rubs up against it, it has to be washed fairly often.  It had shrunk so much that it barely touched the top of the tub.  I never really liked it, so I made a new one from a sheet I got @ the thrift store last summer.

It looks wayyyyyyy better...
I will make matching curtains for the window when I get a tension curtain rod.

I started this rug last year, but ripped it all out because it was not laying flat.
It's croched from strips of sheets.
It's about 1/3 of the way done.
I better get to ripping some more sheets:)

2013 Garden - week1




This past weekend we had beautiful weather so we started planting our garden.



We planted 3 different kinds of tomatoes, and some yellow squash. 
Also started seeds for gourds, green beans, peas, corn and okra.


There are 5 pepper plants, oregano, and green onions left from last year.


The most work was making this new bed...
We put some cucumbers and squash here.
As soon as the nursery gets more black cherry tomatoes in, we will put one here.


& 2 new blueberry plants


Yippee!
