Planting

 I finished planting some more in our fall/winter garden!  Yippie!  Now we just need more rain!  And a gardener who actually pulls weeds!

In Progress.

Lots of sunflowers growing in this little pocket

of our garden!

Moonflowers

Our painted tree with morning glory is doing alright.  Some of the leaves are starting to wilt, I wish I could water it more often, but its been difficult the past month and a half to keep up on the garden.

But when I looked up at the painted tree tonight, it was amazing!!  All the white at the top are the flowers that open up to the sun, now I get to see them at night too!!!

Planting

I put some bean, cucumber, and radish starters in the 

ground this evening!  Yay, for Fall gardens!

Antique Shack

Today I went to the antique shack on Valley Parkway in Escondido, I think its called "Country Flowers."  I was looking for a unique Christmas gift for Oliver.  I saw a lot of neat things, saw the bookshelf I would like, a church pew bench that I have wanted and its price has been reduced and a creepy weepy spider!!!

Library Card Catalog? 

This is neat and I have an idea for it,

along with something new from World Market

and a collection of old suitcases...someday.

Here is the spider.

What kind is it?  Is is poisonous?  

I looked at this website, but can't seem

to find what it is.  I think it is harmless.

But is was scary...

The young store clerk and I took

about 10 minutes to come up with a

strategy to kill it.  

Back to stuff, I like this bookcase.

And this one too.  I've had my eye on this one

for awhile.

Oliver first though!  

More Fall Planting!

I planted a little bit more!  I have a lot of bagged soil left over and would like to use it up!

The collection on the left are the new starters!

From left to right: radish, sunflowers, carrot, yellow squash and zucchini.

The beans and cucumber are sprouting beautifully!  

Maybe either next weekend or the following weekend, I will plant the plants

 that are ready in the ground.

Fall Starters

Yippie!  I got a few Fall starters planted!  Now, I just need to remember to water them everyday!

Beets, spinach, cucumber, beans.

I hope I am able to keep up with my garden this year.  I'm going to follow my heart, dream what I want to see in the garden and JUST make it happen!

Summer Ending

Summer is a bit of a bummer in Escondido.

I like to conserve water and the heat is tough on the plants.  Our yard looks so sad and dry.

 I like when our yard is beautiful, moist, and green.

Hopefully Fall weather comes soon!

We are getting out starters ready for all the Fall greens that we will try and grow in our garden!

I hope to get Oliver more involved with the planting and taking care of our yard.

Happy Fall Planting!
