our backyard

our steal of a deal craigslist find this week. this climber. it's missing it's slide, but my kids don't seem to notice. 20 dollars, and he delivered it for free 20 minutes after i called him.



Our garden is coming along.
yes-- we garden in ballerina skirts.

Carrots!!!

our mess of delicious peas. Three rows is not enough... we gobble them all up every day.

mmm... fresh peas

the strawberry that we are going to pick and eat tomorrow. i'm surprised we are getting any at all this year since i just planted them, but we'll get a few.

and the prettiest part of the garden. the broccoli.

Wow, your garden is producing so much more than mine (probably because it's way bigger). We missed our strawberries while we were gone, and the only other things to eat are carrot tops, basil and dill right now. Not as fun as peas! Which look so delicious, btw. I tried them one year and couldn't get them to turn out or produce very well. You'll have to let me know your secret. I'm sure the kids would think the garden is a lot more fun with something like that growing in it.
