Our Plants and Flowers are Flourishing

Back in June, we started planting our vegetable garden and now it's August...our green beans have come and gone...our peppers should be popping up any minute now...and our tomatoes...should be popping up ANY minute now. Where are our tomatoes? The plant is HUGE, but no vegetable yet.

To be fair, we started this project a little late in the season...then we used Miracle Grow plant and vegetable soil...but didn't notice it wasn't POTTING soil. Don't do that...that non-potting soil has a different texture and your plants will not grow. Use potting soil...add drainage...and your plants will take off like this one did.

We've grown other things in our yard besides weeds this year...uhm...well...Katharine has grown other things. We have flowers this year which I don't think this house has ever seen. And next year we'll have flowering shrubs. That's right folks...we have a plan.

And speaking of plans....there's also still an ongoing patio project...I swear that this will be finished in time for some kind of BBQ in September...I'm going to use it at least once with actual people being able to sit on it (even if it's just the two of us and the animals sitting in lounge chairs...well...the animals won't be in chairs). As a matter of fact, I'm hoping it will be done in the next couple of weeks. You don't believe me but it's true. You'll see and then you'll feel bad for doubting me.
