lovely lavender

Did you know lavender soothes your stomach, mind and skin? And lavender plants in your room can help you get a better nights sleep. Plus its a beautiful plant!

New garden!!

Today I finally got around to getting my new garden going! I forgot how much work starting a garden is! I am so excited about this one... It is a lot bigger than the one at my last house.
I did a lot more research on companion gardening this time around so hopefully my fruits and veggies taste extra delicious this year!

Here is a list of what I was able to plant today...
-tomatoes (two types)
-watermelon
-cucumber
-brussels sprouts
-kale
-lettuce
-cauliflower
-habenero peppers
-jalapeno peppers
-pumpkin
-okra

I saved lots of room for my herbs so hopefully this week I can add them.
