Garden from a BROWN thumb

When I decided that Pipiri and I needed to grow our FIRST box garden back in the spring...I had very lowwww expectations! Read Here when about when we first started....I figured if I had one flower or veggie to grow I'd be super happy.

I truly thought that nothing would grow...

Welll after about 4 months...look how amazing!

We have beautiful sunflowers!

Even little tomatoes!

Annndddd even some tiny carrots and green beans! 

Still waiting for our lavender to grow...and the spinach well I waited too long to pick it and it died....but all in all...

It's been the best experience for she and I to share together! Happy Saturday to you all!

Let's Grow a Garden

I am have always loved flowers...my mom has herbs, a flower garden...beautiful trees. 

So I decided that Pipiri and I would try our hands at a small container garden. 

Soooo that's exactly what we did. We had an awesome carpenter (female) I might add build us the container. Then we planted beans, sunflowers, spinach, carrots, and lavender.

And they grew...

So we added little sticks and labeled them with pretty  Chalk Markers . We use these a ton!  They are sooo pretty chalkboards - paper - anything really!

And grew.....still growing! 

We also planted a few other flowers by our ugly concrete wall.

My little gardener...

We also redid our tiny covered porch area...amazing what a little concrete floor paint

and furniture will do. Love this outdoor pouf...outdoor rug similar to mine ...bitro set...

We used Mod Podge on some terra-cotta pots with chevron fabric.

I love my porch. I love having meals outside...breakfast and dinner. Homeschooling. Reading. Drawing. Listening to birds. Counting airplanes. Pulling weeds. Blowing dandelions.
