Happy Earth Day!

In honor of the awesome week dedicated to helping our poor wonderful planet, I thought I'd plant some tomato seeds. Good ol' Target sold this cute little pot which came with it's own soil and tomato seeds. A week later and here we are!! They're growing!! I can't wait to try my very first home grown tomato. Once they get about three inches tall, I'll plant them out in my backyard. If this goes well, maybe I'll go ahead and start growing all my fruits and veggies. We already have a bartlett pear tree out back! We had one pear last year, I can't wait to see how many we'll get this year!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had an awesome Easter! It was a full day for me. Visiting with family, easter egg hunting with Lisey, and then gardening! Lisey found so many eggs, she won a prize. She was super excited, as you can see above. 

On Saturday, we bought the most amazingly wonderful scented trees - fragrant tea olive trees - and yesterday they went into the ground! We were planning on getting a different tree but every time we passed the tea olive tree, we couldn't help but get drawn in. The smell is almost too good to be true! We also planted some Japanese Boxwood Bushes, Dusty Miller Plants, and some colorful Begonias. I can't wait until they're all in full bloom! I'll be sure to post pictures when they do!

Here are some pics to show you what textures are now beautifying my front yard:
