The Garden is Growing and It's Delisious

We went a bit bigger this year and we are going to make an attempt at a winter garden this year too. Everything grows so large here some of it is out of control. We are learning some things need to move to more open spaces.Cabbage and broccoli take up a lot of room.

MMM... Artichokes

Mega Cabbage!

Red Onions

Tasty little cucumber... not sure what kind.

Red bell pepper

Broccoli

Waiting...waiting...waiting

The cucumber has gone AWOL.

Mega Blueberry...Mine!

Mint Garden

This bed is the future home of the blueberries.

It currently holds celeriac, basil, strawberries, rosemary, thyme, cantaloupe, and potatoes.

Coriander seeds for eating and next years crop.

Dinner.

Mega blueberries next to regular blueberries.

Broccoli dinner with rice and garlic butter.

Shane has made me pickled beets but I have to wait 3 more days...Wah

When the garden started getting out of control. 6/24/2012

Since I have figured out I am allergic to strawberries Shane did some research and fond that many people are allergic to the pigment. So he found some white and yellow alpines that I am hoping will solve my problem. They take forever to grow from seed. They are supposed to be ever-baring.

Time to Start on the Garden

So now that the house is basically done. I am not sure if a home is ever really complete but for now no major projects inside. I decided to start on the front yard. It is lacking in curb appeal... So I used the broken pieces of concrete chimney/vent to create a tiered flower bed. I guess I am going for an English garden feel. Sticking to purples, whites, reds, and some pinks, for color. I did get a couple of ferns. I also planted Shane's silly fern he rescued from the gutter from our last rental. Pretty...

The Bathroom this Weekend or Else!!!

We started the bathroom Jan 21st and today is March 4th. It has been functioning as a bathroom since the 25th I need this room to be finished. the is the goal room this weekend. The walls have the final coat of mud on. The final sand can be done when the mud is dry. Then it can be primed than painted and all of the lighting can be reinstalled. That leaves the molding, window and door frame to be put up and painted. Can it be done? I hope so. Oh and then I can decorate. It is our only themed room... London is the theme. This is the shower curtain...

Still waiting... Still frustrated.

It has been 79 days since our bid was accepted. I know that once this is behind us we will enjoy our new home but right now it is just frustrating. I think we are at the stage we can feel secure that we are getting our loan. But our lender cannot get their act together and continues to need more information causing delay after delay. And HUD is charging $25 a day, despite they had us sign an extension till 9/20. I do not see why this is fair. On vacation to get the house started but we are spending all of our time trying to get the house. I am hoping they give us the keys this week. The Backyard: Boring but has potential The Living room: A good size but all surfaces need refinishing. The Kitchen: Big ugly getting a temporary face lift.
