gardening?

[MrsJoey]

anyone into it?

when we bought our house in April, I all of a sudden was obsessed! I was in the yard daily planting things! I planted a bunch of annuals, Fox gloves, lavender (smells SO good), butterfly bushes, gardenias,sunflowers, potted some seeds,ect!

Ive slowed down 1. cause its SO hot, and 2. it costs moolah lol

but i adore it! my neice got me some cool gardening tools/gloves for my birfday yesterday too :)

when I have more time (prob tomorrow afternoon) ill post some pics of some of the things ive done!

awe thats great!! I'd love to have my own yard to puts around in but for now I just admire my fathers! I did get to help him pick out the flowers for the planters this year :)

awww that's fun!!!

I am planning on getting an Earth box (or 2...) so I can plant a little garden when we move. I want to plant mint. it grows so easily, smells amazing, and you can eat it.

And blueberries...because the boys go through a pint a day, and that's just too expensive lol

[MrsJoey]

thats so cool erin!!!

i actually bought loofa seeds a couple weeks ago-- loofa like that you shower with, u can grow your own! SO COOL, and i thought itd be cool christmas gifts :)

and then like i said the lavender, so i can eventually cut it off and make stuff out of it,or put it in pillows, linen closet,ect.

i loveeddd fresh mint as a kid erin!! my g'ma used to grow it at her house here AND the one down the shore and we used to pick it to put in our iced tea!! g'ma also (still) has blue berry and raspberry bushes in her back yard -- II STILL go over there and eat them all in one sitting lol.

i havent gotten too big into the food growing yet, mainly bc we need to do some landscpaing and i dont have anywhere to put em :( but when we get our tax credit from buying the house-- we're planning on doing some things for the house/making room!

im planning on spending some time in the yard this week- i got some new tools/gloves for my bday :) im gonna go ahead and dig up the dead annuals (what a bummer!) and doing some weed pulling!
i still need to get on and post some pictures!

[ReginaCherie]

i want a veggie garden so bad, but i live in an appartment so its going to have to wait.

I"m growing petunia's and so far they are not dead!!! I can't believe it! They are very resiliant.. When we have been away from the house for a few days or it has been really hot and I have spaced watering them, they perk right back up with a little tlc! Highly suggest them for the beginning green thumb
