My garden continues...

Here are the promised pictures of the garden from my previous post...



















The garden - 1 view





















My little baby Corn



















Lettuce - I think Mesculine lettuce



















The tomato that I bought from Edison High school

Corn is growing!

So I made 4 rows of corn - 2 of them I planted a few weeks ago and we had that lovely bout of cold weather, so cold I think it killed half the seeds I planted including the corn.
But Jason and I planted another 2 rows just 3 weeks ago and already there are very noticable corn seedlings popping through. Thinking of it now I should have taken a picture but I will do that soon.
My tomatoes are doing well - I bought 4 seedlings from Home Depot and 1 pretty large one from the Edison High School plant sale. The bigger one is hopefully going to be producing tomatoes soon and it looks like some of my lettuce is sprouting. The confusing thing about gardening with new seeds is not knowing what is a seed and what is a weed. I have found quite a few weeds and managed to wack them out with a shovel.
I've also started a compost bucket and am burying it weekly. Jason brought home a bucket with a lid that serves 2 purposes-keeping the dogs out of the "treats" in the bucket and keeping the smell in.
I am traveling this weekend but may be able to take some pictures before the weekend...it's so much fun to go out to the garden 1 day and a few days later see all new developments.

Best passive aggressive blog...ever

Starbucks cares?

Now if you know anything about me at all you know I am a DIE HARD Dunkin Donuts fan. It is hard for me to go to Starbucks and give them my money. Now at work Starbucks is only 2 blocks away whereas DD is about 8 blocks so if I am feeling extra tired and lazy (usually they go hand in hand) I will force myself to walk to Starbucks and get some overpriced "coffee drink". But the other day one of my print rep friends called and offered to buy me some Starbucks and I can't say no to free overpriced drinks...but moving on to my story...
I noticed that they had a big pail of shiny bags and it turns out that they are recycling their coffee grounds and GIVING THEM AWAY FOR FREE. So I stocked up on 3 huge bags. Now you might be asking what I used the coffee grounds for and they are fantastic for gardens. So I hauled them to my car and you might not think that coffee grounds are that heavy but 3 HUGE ASS bags of them are really heavy! Thankfully Jared (my print rep friend) carried his 3 bags and my 3 bags to the door of my buidling. They were even nice enough to give us big shopping bags. So all in all my last trip to Starbucks wasn't too bad - free coffee and some free fertilizer.
Oh I have to add I didn't get a coffee I got a mocha something with soy milk...I can't really stand their coffee and can't do that to DD. It just wouldn't be right.

My garden

My carrots

Tomatoes

I'm not sure what this is just quite yet...

And my Raspberry bush - there are 3 of them so I hope they all make it and bear fruit!

flowers

Blogger is possessed - it's not posting my pictures of my flowers so here is my fifth attempt.

My flowers

I am obsessed with all my flowers - they're really the only photos I post on Facebook. Since I am so proud of my Orchids and other flowers I am going to share them here too.
The Irises are from my mom - I think they are from the Virginia house and I'm so happy that they're blooming and healthy. I just took the pictures of them so they're covered in rain drops. I think they all look so pretty.
