Everything's a Growing!

My pictures are horribly edited but I've been wanting to do a post on our garden and plants for a while now and just need to do it!




We planted everything from seed, which explains why we had to replant some things last week because some things just didn't grow (or the dang birds came and ate the seeds!).  While weeding we dug out the row of carrots and peas and replanted all of them so it's funny to have big bean plants that have been growing for a while now and little peas sprouting next to them.

We also replanted corn because out of the 16 we originally planted, only ONE grew. You'll notice two of the tomato plants are quite a bit bigger than the others also, those ones I started indoors in March or something. Replanted our basil and jalapeno and our red potatoes never grew either so we might just leave that space for the squash to take over.

Raspberries!

This raspberry bush happened to be here when we moved in.  We haven't done a single thing to it - no water or pruning or anything, so I didn't expect to see any berries this year.  When Ava and I went out yesterday there were some even ready to pick! Ava was pretty disappointed that there weren't more than 5 to eat though haha Pin It

Mother's Day (Saturday) at Capital City Market

Devin knows that I love going to farmer's markets and he particularly doesn't so he watched Ava Saturday morning while I went downtown. Not going to lie, it was nice to be by myself and look at whatever I wanted for however long I wanted and buy...whatever I wanted haha! It was my Mother's Day gift :)

^^How do you people who go to farmer's markets and take beautiful pictures of everything not feel totally awkward? Do you do it all with your iPhone instead of a big black DSLR that makes people feel like they're actually getting shot at? haha I seriously felt like such a creeper.  But this guy was so nice and told me all about Brioche dough so I had to get his booth.

^^Basking in beautiful morning weather and people and food and pretty things...in peace!

The Goods

Thanks to some Mother's Day specials a lot of the the booths were having: I got a bag of fresh made pasta, a little bag of delicious toffee, jars of yummy caramel sauce, some natural baby ointment for rashes, acne, dry scalp (we'll see if it works), and this yummy caramel nut roll made with brioche dough, which is a little different than normal bread dough and it was delicious! I saved it to have for breakfast on Mother's Day :)  As you can see, I'm not one of those people who sees spending money on food and treats a waste of money. It really does make me happy!


And so do flowers...I was so happy to pick up this basket of begonias before the weekend came.  This instantly draws my eyes up from all the work that needs to be done to our lawn and I love the light pinks and creams and greens against our olive-colored-house

And even though it was nice to take a break from mommy time on Saturday morning, I sure do love being this girl's momma, she surprises me everyday with new things I love about her.  And I can't wait to see how my love grows and changes when we add our little boy in just 3 months!

Birthday Tree

A PEACH TREE!

For Devin's birthday...because he's such a peach.

Last time I asked, Devin hadn't told his sister about this so here you go Heather!  She sent Devin a Home Depot gift card for his birthday (she is so thoughtful!!!) and we used it to get a fruit tree for our backyard.  We got a variety called "New Haven".   Ava thought the whole planting process was awesome and loved helping us fill the hold back up with dirt.
