prep for the bridal shower & garden updates

in preparation for the bridal shower

(that already happened and was a success!)

ryan lovingly tore down the terrible lattice last week

 we are guessing that it has been there for as long as the house has

about twenty years!

 trying to be more "eco"

i decided to turn some of the lattice pieces into stakes for my plants

do you need some?

let me know

i got a couple of piles

 more garden updates 

the bell peppers and the walla wallla onions

and in the lower right corner 'super chili'

hopefully not too blazing hot- haha- 

they will probably be equivalent to fire

these photos were taken July 19

recently we added more plants to this planter

more tomatoes from my friend M!

the white icicle radish row

yellow husk tomatillo

and random veggies here and there

turnips, carrots, green onions, beets

i swear i planted them in rows!

they just went everywhere

 my favorite thing to watch in the garden

the 'sweet 100' tomato plant

a hybrid

super beautiful 

they look like little green jewels

super shiny

okay im obsessed with them

aren't they the cutest?

 'early girl'

she is taking a little longer than i anticipated

but she is gorgeous!

'galina's yellow cherry tomato'

ry counted about 120 little cherry tomato flowers so far

yipee!  

 'yellow husk' tomatillo

super excited about these as well

they are really pretty

the fire sticks 

.intense.

he is not growing very big at the moment

getting a tad worried

maybe fertilizer?

 my butternut squash

eaten at the stem by slugs

they. will. pay.

not sure what this is- haha

it is a type of squash but i don't remember!

 french pumpkin

really pretty curly vines

another squash i do not remember! 

'early girl' bell pepper

isn't she beautiful?
