Garden Update 3

Ok, first of all I'll apologize for blogging about my yard constantly! I'm pretty excited about it and therefore take a lot of pictures/talk about it all the time :) I always thought I was a horrible gardener and almost felt like less of a woman for it. My mom has SUCH a green thumb, and I always wanted to be able to garden like she could, and killed everything! But, I've now realized that I can garden, but only in prime conditions like here in Denton (good soil, earthworms, frequent rain, decent temperatures, etc.)! I always tried to grow things in horrible places like Borger and Lubbock...no wonder it didn't work (of course, mom can grow things in any condition, but I'm not quite there yet). Anyhoo...

So, here's some pics!

This is the bed Carissa weeded! It was completely full of weeds before she got after it...

This is our front porch.
And this is after!! I put in begonias, some fuzzy little flowers, petunias, and impatients. Then, I mulched things.


Anyhoo, I thought it turned out looking a lot better! Our house finally has a little curb appeal.

This is a pot that Carissa's dog dug up completely when I had flowers in it, so I put it out front and re-potted it. I put in impatients, fuzzy flowers and petunias. Hopefully it'll last out of the dog's reach this time!
Daisies!!

I know you can't really tell by the picture of the spinach, but it's HUGE, like the size of a dessert plate or something. You could just eat like 3 leave for an entire salad, it's awesome :)
And we have 2 little 'maters!!! I was so excited...2 of the plants are blooming and I was excited about that, but then found these little guys. I hope the get ripe before the squirrels get to them, tho.
This I'm super excited about! It's my shrimp plant that I brought here from San Antonio, let freeze multiple times, and thought I killed. But, it came back!!
This is my rose, another thing that somehow survived my trip/freezes.
And, my daisy that made it all the way with me, too. YAY!
