good friday

good friday!

today we spent the day in the backyard getting down and dirty.

 it all started with a trip to Lowe's to buy plants

 for the garden boxes hubby made for me. 

he usually builds something for me when he is on spring break, i don't mind at all.

he loves me like that :)

 it was a family affair. number two got new garden gloves and helped me with the planting.

max was curious sniffing the new plants.

i hope he doesn't take a liking to them.

hubby and number one worked on digging holes to transplant some of the overgrown bougainvillea.

 we planted edibles: strawberries, red and yellow bell peppers, serrano peppers, and tomatoes.

i am going to experiment and try to make a tomato topiary using this form.

here i planted red onions, green onions, cilantro, basil, sage, and carrots by request of number 1.

 this is the first time i attempt growing my own veggies, we are excited to harvest our own food.

i was so happy to find this beauty.

my first bloom this year from the climbing eden we planted last summer.

you can read about it here

my backyard is slowly evolving into my personal garden of eden, my happy place.

a new addition to my collection of succulents, it is called "cobweb".

of course it wouldn't have been a family affair without this guy running around with his favorite ball.

wishing you and yours a very happy easter.

every plant that my heavenly father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.
