flowers and pumpkins and herbs, oh my!

this is a nice side view of the fennel so you can seen how tall she is. the kale is at the bottom.


actually.. it could be romaine. i'm not sure. they were two freebie seeds that popped up in the carrot seeds!

and my marigolds.

PUMPKINS! there are three vines.. they've really started going. i'm in search of a clear plastic box to make some square pumpkins.. ANYONE HAVE ONE? =D


look at all of those little baby flowers!


a few of the already pollinated pumpkin flowers. (fingers crossed.)

moss roses



DAMN THAT ONION FLOWER JUST WANTS TO POP!



that is a bad bug. if you see it, kill it. i believe it's a cucumber beetle larvae.

my tiger lily wants to wake up. it's coming!


bees and lady bugs.

random garden stuffs

birdhouse garden



my gorgeous sago palm with babies. during the snow someone in my neighborhood threw her out because all of the leaves turned brown.. i cut them all off and let it stew and LOOKIE LOOKIE.




tomato and potato city!


first wildflowers popping.


i have no clue what that is.. but it was tiny and alive.

green beans and other veggie flowers!

i've only gotten one green bean so far. but i have tons of flowers so i'm not worried. =D




little baby bean shedding the flower!

bean flowers

potato flower! loooook at all that pollen it wants to give away.

the first tomato flowers! yay!

cucumbers galore. i'm going to pick all the fruit small this year and make baby dills.



so freakin' cute.

first carrot harvest!

we decided to thin out the carrots to give our pumpkin plants a little more room.. and to give the smaller guys an opportunity to get bigger. also pulled some onions. a little too early.. oh well, they'll be the seeds for next year
