Back in the groove again.....

Boy has the weather been good this week. Last night I finally got the rest of my vegie garden planted and part of my perennial bed re-mulched. I was so jazzed when I went to Lowe's on Sunday that they had marked down the Lollipop Gerber Daisies 50%. I LOVE them and they were exactly what I was looking for, for a couple of spots.

Here's some photos of our vegie garden. It's not very big but it produces WAY more than we need and it allows me to give vegies to family and friends.







I've got 4 different types of tomatoes, 2 hills of cucumbers, sugar snap peas, bush beans, zucchini, yellow squash and basil.

I've also got a herb planter on my deck that has flat leaf parsley, dill, rosemary and thyme in it.


Here's a close up of those wonderful Lollipop Gerber Daisies -





I also had to get a photo of these.....Calla lilies.....sigh....





It was such a beautiful day that I took two 15 minute walks today at work...one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I also got my ass in gear and rode my bike up to the gym and did a 50 minutes workout. 25 minutes of strength training and 25 minutes of cardio.

Your garden looks great! Nothing beats homegrown vegetables.
