Backyard oasis...

There are very few things that make me as happy as getting my garden in!

My tomato and pepper plants got to my door step today

and I almost assaulted the UPS man getting the box:)

 The tomatoes are all in!

Amish paste, Brandywine, Mortgage lifter,

and Cherokee Purple: 

my mouth is watering already!

The black pots and the crate are growing my potatoes 

and doing well.

 I was so excited to get out my "map" of this years garden to 

guide me in my planting. 

 I decided to pot two of my pepper plants and see how they grow.

My seedlings didn't so as well as I hoped:( 

Good thing the girls and I went to the Amish the other day so 

I could pick up a few.

 I just love my hanging basket on my garden shed.

My strawberries are flowering! 

The idea I got from pinterest of replanting cut green onions 

is working great. It will be nice to cut when needed.

 My basil transplants got put into the dirt today.

I will be planting my seeds in the other containers to get them started. 

 My little helper put out our rock strawberries for the birds.

 I love seeing the girls diggin' in the dirt.

 My Aunt Mary got me this beautiful hanging basket for Mother's day.

 My wonderful husband dropped everything when I said,

I needed the flower boxes for the screen porch done so I could

get the rest of the flowers planted.

Not only did he make them,

he helped me plant all the flowers too.

I'm such a lucky woman!

 I just love my little backyard sanctuary!

My grandpa's glider will be the finishing touch.

 My apple trees are blossoming!

 My cherry trees are budding.

It feels good to get a little vitamin D 

and dig in the dirt.

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
