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:
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.
herbs
Bardrock hen
Americana hen- the "Easter egg" layer
Peyton's collection of yard treasure
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.
