Few Garden Pics-4.29.11

We had bad luck with seeds last year, so we decided to go with seedlings this year. We hit a couple of organic farmer markets in the past few weeks and here we have watermelons, brussell sprouts, and 4 different types of sweet peppers. The two in the back left I DID sprout from seeds, they are sunflowers :)






These are baby watermelons (So cute!) and I thought the variety of leaf shape was very interesting!

I should be picking up tomato seedlings from my Grandfather this weekend :)

YAY Spring!

Cupcake Cuteness!

Joe and I picked up a couple of cupcakes from our favorite Pastry shop, Wally's :)

They were so adorable, Hello Kitty with her Prince Frog, we didn't want to cut them in half to share them with each other.

Alas, they were so yummy, we had to sacrifice cuteness for the nibbles.

At least they get to live on together in our tummies :)

City Market Rockin

So we hit the City Market last weekend to get supplies to make my Grandfather Eggplant Parm for his birthday. The day was cloudy but the mood was festive!

We got alot of great stuff, but the BEST part of the morning was running into my favorite couple, the Busers!
Much LUV!

Sunrise!

Caught this pic as I left my neighborhood this AM.

Bargin Plants, Future Gardens, Harvest Time

We hit Lowes over the weekend and got some amazing clearance plants. The three on the top were only $1.50 each, and the two huge ones below with Taco for scale were $3.50 each, so for $10 we got a whole bunch of awesome houseplants to reduce our sadness with our garden finishing up for the season.

Joe is working on getting an area setup for our raised garden for next year in the back yard.

And here's our two little Eggplants, dwarfs compared to the eggplant my Grandfather grew (from the SAME seedlings!) and down right tiny compared to my Aunt Diane's Yellow Squash. I guess there's always next year!

Fall is in the air, I'm looking forward to it and I hope you do too!

Arrowhead

Joe and I went to a free open practice at Arrowhead this week, good times!

It's pretty impressive, the renovations they have done :)

It was a lovely evening, we took the bike, which was fun!

Now if only they could win a few games....

Tomatoes!

Here's our harvest from this weekend!

Joe's going to make salsa with them and a few peppers from our garden. Perfect spicy condiment for these steamy days!
