Salsa Garden

Memorial Day weekend allowed Dave and I the opportunity to get down and dirty! In the garden that is! :) I had back to back photoshoots on Saturday morning and Dave used the time to mow the lawn. Afterwards he braved the crowds at Home Depot and came home with a salsa garden!




We laid everything out and wrote down on a piece of paper where and what everything was before we planted. This way there won't be any question as to what we are harvesting!




Red, yellow, orange, and green bell peppers, beefsteak tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, habanero peppers, sweet and spicy banana peppers and an eggplant are the things I can remember off the top of my head that we planted. I am planning on trying to get a picture of the garden every week to see how it is growing.

Here is a picture of the onion plants just peeking out from the soil.



And a photo of one of the tomato plants being watered.



Dave has a huge backyard that ends at a little pond. The sun was setting by the time we got done planing and it was absolutely illuminating these huge lilac bushes. I couldn't resist taking some pictures before our beautiful Saturday was over.

Mom's Birthday Weekend

Mom and Lola came into town for Mom's birthday and we had such a fantastic time! Between outlet mall-ing, BBQ'ing, gardening, sunning, brunching and relaxing we have a very full and fun weekend! I was especially excited because my new lens came. Oh so much to learn!

Learning to play with my limited depth of field...

Notice how little Miss Lola has on a choke collar now? Humm....must be her naughty collar!
