around the garden

We enjoyed eating some peas from our garden in the crunch coleslaw recipe from the vegan workshop

Here's another recipe that we've been using a lot from the vegan workshop. This is the orange creamsicle smoothie and we made some additions: 

frozen strawberres + tequila and triple sec (sprig of mint optional) = delicious!

I finally convinced David to let me make his old, worn out Doc Martin's into planters.

These boots look like they have a story to tell...cowgirl meets punk?

I've recently become obsessed with succulents. 

They are now all over our garden; I transplanted quite a few into the cement blocks that line one side of our garden...these neat plants are now in pots, in a wreath, and -well, obviously in boots!

Pinterest led me to a tutorial on making my own succulent wreath.

well - would you look at that; we've got a few peppers growing already!

Lisianthus - it has been one of my favorite flowers since I can remember.

The milkweed is blooming

and so is the echinacea

I got some mulch today for the front part of the garden

Tomato plant blossoms! 

Cucumber plants have about 8 little cucumbers on them.
