Our Lovely Yard!

If you remember LAST year- we had a great yard of ROCKS, dirt and WEEDS, sub pumps, sewage holes, and sprinkler pipes. THIS year, we've been enjoying our yard to the max!
I used my birthday money to purchase this:
$50 at Walmart, thank you very much. It's already been an added benefit!
Even though Zach hates them, I love my sunflowers and the grape is growing so fast, it's already to the ground over the fence!
Our three strawberry plants have been producing baby berries and baby strawberry plants- can't wait for next year!
This blackberry came up volunteer from under the fence and now they are HUGE! We've been picking berries on the fence behind our house and Weston said "Next year we'll have our own blackberries to pick and then we won't have to walk SO far to get them!" (It's maybe 150 ft away:).
The garden has been like digging for buried treasure- everyday, we go out to see what we can find! Tomatoes, green beans, zukes, yellow squash, carrots, beets, cucumbers, egg plants, green peppers, acorn squash and pumpkins... Yum and yum and YUM!
Last but not least, our honeysuckle started about two feet tall and look at it now!

Who needs a Bountiful Basket when this is coming everyday? Love it!
