our garden, one year later

It's been one year since we started our blog. Time sure goes fast.

In honor of our 1st anniversary here are some new pictures of our

garden one year later...

working in the garden

It's been so hot lately our flowers are not doing well. We still added more flowers in hopes that they will survive!!!

Bought this nice hydrangea at Trader Joe's. Thought it was a good price and we wanted to get rid of the old ones in our garden that were not looking very good. We have not worked in the garden for a while and the flowers need some TLC.

uncle's garden

Since I have been posting a lot about food lately, I thought I would have some pictures of Uncle's garden. We wish we could grow some vegetables in our yard but since we have too many creatures (snails, rats and lizards), Uncle planted some stuff for us. We got eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomato's. They are finally almost ready to pick. This is a picture of Uncle's famous Japanese cucumber. They get really long as you can see. Each Sunday we look forward to what we can harvest.

Well, I couldn't end this post without some type of food. Sorry Jack!!! Clyde and Kelly got some cheesecake from cheesecake factory for our birthday. They were tres leche, carrot cake and tuxedo. All were yummy. We miss you Jack at Uncle's Sunday dinners.

our new garden

It has been 2 years since we planted any new flowers in our garden. It had consisted of dirt, weeds, and some old plants. Last month we decided to buy a few flowers and plant them. Each week after the flowers stayed alive, we bought new ones. Now the garden is starting to look more colorful. We noticed some of our plants getting smaller and smaller but didn't see anything eating them. I checked for snails every day but didn't see any but Jeff put some snail killer out (sorry snails) and now they have gone to heaven.

Jeff working hard!!!
