This weekend was all about the garden and yard... I am so sore I had to take painkillers last night after spending all day Saturday outside in the hot sun pulling weeds! and there were a lot of weeds.. we filled 2 yard waste bins..insane!..but man did it need it.. then we went out and had happy hour at Scotts with John and Jessica to wind down the night.. Today it was more of the same. Brian brought home a truck load of soil from John's and put it up on the ledge next to the new fence.. planted a bunch of hostas there.. unlike last year we actually got them in the ground before they died! haha.. also finished up my veggie garden.. its so pretty now.. it was neglected and I wasn't really into it last year but I have to the say the last 2 days have been very rewarding.. and also reconfirmed how out of shape I am:-)..but nevertheless it was great and I am so excited to see the fruits of our labor (literally:-)..hehe..

Brian -finishing up the boxes he built for me inside the garden.. I'm so lucky..he built the entire veggie garden from the fencing to the latching door and of course tilling up all the soil.. its so pretty, gets good sun and hidden behind the garage..
Ta da! all done
strawberry plant.. notice the 1 small white berry which should turn red shortly.. hoping for more
2 cantoulope plants.. we'll see how these go.. needs rich soil and I have no idea if mine is.. :-(
First signs of some baby bok choy I put down last weekend

and of course the obligatory tomatoe plant.. I was told this is a bad year for tomatoes since its been so cold ..we'll see how this one does.

and the finished fence! All stained and some hostas.. you can't see them very well because they're small and we could have probably used some more soil up there but they'll get bigger..
