To start i thought I would show you how my garden has grown! Despite the fact that the "topsy turvy" looks a lot bigger, it wasn't doing very well for a while and it has JUST started flowering. No fruit yet.

I always get overzealous when planting my gardens, thinking that I have plenty of room to put a bunch of plants. As you can see in the first picture it looks like there is plenty of room. Well in the second picture you can see how it has bloomed. My only fatality has been my peper plant. For some reason all of the leaves just fell off of it one day... My strawberries did fairly well. I picked enough to make about 2 small peanut butter jars full of freezer jam. It was actually pretty good. Jack loved it!

As you all know, I have been working in the yard the past few weeks. My week long project turned into a 2 1/2 week project. But, at least I love doing this stuff. Its like christmas morning for me when I get to do a project!
I forgot to get any before pictures because I was so excited to get out there and get started, but mom took a few shortly after I started so I'll use those for some "before and after" shots.

The green stuff in the second picture is suppose to grow new grass. Most of the lawn could use that stuff...

The pond, part of which was for dads fathers day present!
This last picture is of us about to haul away the last of the mulch I pulled up. (found in the second to last picture) Katy actually saved the day with that. She helped me load and unload that trailer a couple times. I probably would be 6 feet under right now if she wasn't helping me. That was a lot of work. Probably the hardest part of the whole project.
