Loving the plants

I got some beautiful new plants yesterday for an awesome deal. My dad has done signs for Nick's Garden Center for years and the owner is a good friend. Randy is a great guy and gave me a super fantastic price!


This morning I potted the plants in their new containers. I just love the colors and can't wait to bring them inside to liven up the decor.

So good I should have taken a picture

Dinner tonight was fab.u.lous. I cooked some chicken in a pan with a spray of olive oil. Half way through cooking I added pepper, garlic salt, red pepper, and chili powder. YUMM-O! Removed them from the pan then made a quesadilla and added the chicken. Oh man was it good. We had a side of microwaved veggies and water. You'd think that with good food like this I would be losing lbs left and right. To top it all of A & I walked down to Granny's house. A in his little red wagon and mama pulling it along. We had a good time.

Business is super fantastic. Today we won a bid for the stone veneer on the California Pizza Kitchen in Cherry Creek Mall. It was a good bid so we will be able to reserve the booth for the Garden & Home show coming up this winter. N & I talked about that today and got a few of our ideas down on paper. This is good stuff folks. We don't have a lot of advertising going on so I think it will be fantastic to get out business card out there in so many hands. Who knows there may be a huge payoff in the years to come from just one show.

Today we got to sample some more from our garden. The grape tomatoes are starting to turn red and ripen. I just got a taste today but there are a couple more that will be ready tomorrow. I am hoping I can get a good photo before hubby gets out there and plucks them. I also need to get the squash. They are so pretty with the blooms and the veggies all hiding under those massive leaves.

I was going to take photos of green today but didn't get to it. Bummer dude. Guess that will have to wait for my excursion with A to the park tomorrow. I think I will add either red or yellow to the day so I can get more than one day from a color. :)

Well that is enough from me tonight. I want to be up early to get a head start on my day tomorrow.

Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

The peppers are starting to get big. We have two. These were supposed to be jalapeños but they look like green peppers to us. Oh well the bell pepper seeds we planted didn't sprout so we are happy to have these.

We even have a few tomatoes. We have lost 3 plants but the ones that are thriving are producing quite a bit of fruit.

And of course we have some pretty little squash starting too. I love the blossoms on these. I can't believe how big these plants are.

We are happy to have such a beautiful garden. I can't wait to eat a tomato right off the vine. Yummy!

Soon we will have fruits & veggies

Hubbykins planted a few (8) tomato plants along with some carrots, onions, peppers, jalapenos and squash in our new veggie garden. It is a sight to behold. I can't wait to pick a grape tomato and eat it right off the vine. Yummy childhood memory there. I hope the little one will share in these memories as he grows.

I had to share this photo too. Hubby is a mason so when he planted he used his mason's trowel instead of a garden trowel. Both work I am sure, but I just found it to be an endearing quirk of my dearest.
