Leaning Trellis

This is what my trellis has been looking like lately.

Not nice.

Chad gave me the idea to put some bricks around it

to support it.  

So far so good!  Chad and Jess are going to help

me put concrete in the ground to make it more stable.

Yippie!  

Spittlebugs

Oliver and I saw some soapy like stuff on

our Rosemary plants the other day.  

Its the spit from Spittlebugs.  Kind of neat!

I will keep my eyes on the plants to make sure they stay healthy and strong!

Watermelon

I planted watermelon seeds yesterday.  4/17.

Here.

A couple here.

A couple here.

And a few in the front.  Hopefully they grow big, plump and yummy!

Sand and Dirt

Just a thought.

I love that we have a sandbox.  

And a dirt box.  My baby boys

prefer the dirtbox over the sandbox.  

Baby fingernails with dirt under them is kind of cute!  Even better when their parents don't mind! 

I just don't like when they eat it.  Only one seems to really like the taste of it.  Ugh!

Trellis

 Don't laugh.

I pushed the trellis to the other side.

And then I tied it with twine.  Now if it leans to the other

side, I guess we'll see if the twine breaks or it keeps it straight.

This is just temporary until someone can help me.  

Fake Flowers

I love my window.  I love the lavender growing

below it.  Love, love, love.  

I don't love these fake flowers so much.

But they came with my home.  I have

some hanging planters to hang and plant

real flowers in, but I'm kind of waiting until

these look really really hideous.  

Stay tuned!

Another plan

My other plan for the area above the easement is a row of sunflowers.  Oliver and I planted them along the white picket fence.  Hopefully they grow and peek up over the fence.

We tried to move some tall ones from a pot.

They aren't doing very well.

We planted seeds along here two weeks ago.

We'll see what happens!

One is sprouting.
