Weekend yard projects

We were busy bees this weekend! We completed our backyard garden which is home to carrots, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peas, strawberries, peppers, raspberries, blueberries, zucchini, squash, cucumber and collards. The collards were on accident...thought I had broccoli in my hand!! Haha oh well.

I painted the garage floor while garth worked on the garden. It is complete with speckles and sealer. Pretty proud of myself on that one. Garth was convinced we didn't need to do it but man does it look good! See the before and after pictures and you'll know what I mean.

The next task is starting our patio addition. A much more timely process but totally worth it. It will have a pergola over top with grape vines running up it and a fireplace. Very anxious for some summer cookouts on the new patio.

New life

Of a tree that is! We have planted a tree in our front yard and it is supposed to grow up to 17 feet per year. I thought is would be a fun experiment to watch its progress on here. So here we go!
