Our 'outside life'

As you know if you read me regularly we have flowers and such along with a veggie garden.
Not anything magazine worthy or done like the HGTV experts, just us or now DH doing our own thing.

The clematis are beautiful this year and taking over the porch railing!!

Have had other beautiful blooms this spring as well. So nice after a couple drought years to see it all lovely again.

We have a plot out back we till up then plant veggie seeds and plants in it.

A few things stay there from year to year . Berry bushes(blueberry, raspberry, blackberry), herbs (parsley,dill, sage, summer basil), we do over winter crops too.
DH did a raised bed as well with really great soil we are filling up.
Plants are filling out and tomatoes already have blooms.

So in a couple weeks will really be a sight to see!

Tomatoes above with some snaps/green beans coming up in next row.

Also some kale you can see as well.

Along with squash, lettuce, radishes, green peppers, watermelons, cantaloupes, brussels sprouts.

Cukes here, onions, eggplant, potatoes, carrots, hot peppers.

Shoot I can't recall all that is planted but if it all makes we will be busy..putting up and eating fresh!!

This is not near what we used to raise when kids were home but enough for just us.

I always have enough to can and freeze for winter.

We buy from local farmers our corn and butter beans.

We also are blessed with folks who will share their bounty as well with us.

So hope this will be a good year for everyone growing food this year.

Next will share some beautiful bouquets I have enjoyed in the house this week.
