For about a month, we’ve been growing vegetables in pots on our dining room table. Yesterday (with hopes that Colorado has seen its last freeze!) – we moved them out onto the deck.

Zucchini, cucumbers, broccoli, spinach, lettuce, chives, tomatoes, carrots, eggplant
Some of them look pretty measly, but I have high hopes. Especially since my stud of a husband built a garden for us yesterday.

I can’t wait to fill this up with all of sorts of green, edible goodness. Keep your fingers crossed that (a) freezing temps have left us for good and (b) I don’t accidentally kill them all with my lack of vegetable-growing-knowledge.

Either way, I had fun watching this guy work…he has nice muscles.


I can’t wait to have an area to grow my own veggies!
Yay! I just planted some veggies too!
Oh fun! We have squash, cucumber, cantaloupe, tomatoes and green beans. My hubby is in charge of the garden this year and is quite proud of himself!
We have a garden this year too! My studly husband made mine too!
Awesome! I tried to grow a bean plant in a pretty pot on my windowsill, but my cat knocked it onto my floor so now I just have a pile of dirt on my carpet. I’ve never been able to keep a plant alive anyway…
One of these days I’ll have the courage to try and grow a garden. I need to start small with herbs. Last time I tried I killed them before I could use them
We just got one of those veggie box things this year too and I can’t look forward to growing our own tomatoes!
YAY for your planties!
They look fantastic!
So fun! We always had a garden when I was growing up and picking the veggies was one of my favorite things. Adrienne will love it when she gets older!
That big garden box has a lot of potential I think!
Way to bust out your green thumb!
If I can do….I have FULL confidence in you! BTW… going back to my strong dislike of tomatoes we planted four plants last year and I would pick like 2 grocery bags a day and take them to work and give them away
Only two this year cause Tom INSISTED! Good luck! I love Mike’s hat
Meeker you look like a natural out there in the garden. Hope everything thrives abundantly….. you have worked so hard!
Good luck with the garden! I’m trying one this year, too, and I’m really hoping I don’t kill the tomatoes.
[...] nice long walk today, made a dinner menu for the week, made a trip to the grocery store, tended to the garden, and got some laundry [...]
