Holidays Holidays Holidays can April have anymore?

In honor of Earth Day (April 22^nd) and Arbor Day (April 29^th) I’ve decided to post about the “Green” Gardens around our house. Let’s start with flowers shall we? We have 6 different gardens all around our house.  Our largest is our “Sitting garden”. The next garden would be our “Green garden”.  One of my most fragrant gardens is our “Rose garden”. (An old plow that came from Joey’s Great Grandparents Dairy farm decorates itJ.) The last of our gardens in our front yard is what I like to call our “Rock garden”. In the back yard we have our “Vine garden” and our “Bulb garden”. (Hold for pictures)

       

 My “Whimsy garden”.  We just started work on it this weekend so the finished product isn’t up and ready but I had to share anyways. Isn’t it adorable??????? My husband’s response when I asked what he thought about it was and I do quote exactly here “Ummm, It’s Girly”.  Such an enthusiast! The entire time I spent gathering the stuff for it he thought I was crazy, especially about the bugs. The only thing I think I’m lacking is of course the dirt (HA) one large metal flower, a Gnome, and a couple of tea cups/ teapots with real flowers in it.  So stay tuned when I do officially have the finished product I will post more pictures J

The last of our (mine and the boys that is) pride and joys would be the “veggie garden” and newly added “Mini orchard” (we have baby peaches already! I will say the orchard was the ideas of my boys not mine. They really wanted the fruit trees we had room so I said heck why not.) In our garden, we grow tomatoes, green beans (from seeds the boys planted) , squash, bell pepper, carrots (the boys seeded again), and occasionally when I get a wild hair and feel like itching all day okra, but not this season.  We’ve already got 2 tomatoes (one on my Josh bush and one on my Chris bush. THEY WERE SOOOO EXICED.) The orchard has 1 Apple tree, 1 Peach tree, 1 Pear tree, and 1 Orange tree. As I’ve previously stated, we decided this year instead of cultivating weeds , we’d do an above ground “Box” garden and put in sprinklers for us lazy people. Joey decided ,thus furthering our laziness, that we should do them in EVERY garden and all over the yard and so we did. Yup, we are totally lazy.

PS sorry about the way the pictures up loaded. I tried dragging them and moving them but no success.
