around the yard


In my attempt to avoid any and all house work I found myself putting my macro-lens on my Canon. I headed outside to check on my garden, front and back. This is a daily occurance now that we have a "real" garden. Picket fence and all.


Front:



A bloom from our wild blackberry bush. This beauty has vicious thorns!



Nasturtium

jumping spider


early girl tomatoes


oregano with some sneaky clovers


Back:

grass sprouts. hopefully more sprout up! it cost a pretty penny and we have big bald spots!


Yum, hope this produces well.

snap peas


herbs

Bardrock hen

Americana hen- the "Easter egg" layer

Peyton's collection of yard treasure



vacant, move in ready



If you are going to have a serious garden then you have to have cute yard decor. Thanks to my friend Alisha I have a good start.


Now onto the stinky stuff:

stinky fly trap

"deodorized fish emulsion"

Lies! all lies! My yard smells like a nasty fish market!

Never, ever, ever try using this stuff on anything indoor!

I hear the stink is worth it though. We shall see.

And last but not least. The giant that occupies our porch.
