Isn’t it beautiful! I’m so proud of my first green pepper I don't think I can stand myself!

Y’all, I fixed a salad the other night with my fresh from the garden green pepper and cucumber (sorry no pictures) but I have to tell ya that there is just something about the taste of veggies that you grew yourself with your own two hands.

Outstanding!!!!!

From June 6 to July 24 is a total of 55 days.

All I have to say is WOW!

I grew a green pepper y’all!

Blessings

PS: I know you all are on the edge of your seat awaiting the highly publicized next installment in my ongoing Garden Saga. Confidential sources in the small town of Dacula are reporting that the much anticipated sequel “A Green Bean Story.” is days away from release.

In case y’all were wondering!

Oh Honey, I am so proud of you. How wonderful is that? I have to buy everything at the store. Here in Phoenix, it is so hot nothing is growing right now. The only way I could have a garden is if it was indoors. This is wonderful, just wonderful. Everything tastes better fresh out of a garden. It is such a beautiful plant also. It appears to have grown fairly fast. I wonder how long it will keep producing? Have a wonderful blessed day. Thanks for sharing. Country Hugs, Sherry

Wow. I'm so-o-o-o impressed. I'm just grateful when I don't kill something already planted, much less undertake a vegetable garden!

Kidding aside, I remember from my days in WA State how wonderful are home-grown tomatoes and green beans, and peas. Here in AZ the heat is too intense to grow much, though some do. I'm not one of them.

Be blessed,
Kathleen

Yum! That's a beauty! You should be proud of yourself :-)

We just ate the last green pepper out of our summer garden (which has been over a while) last week. And THIS week we started eating lettuce from our winter garden!!!

You're right, it just tastes BETTER when you've grown it yourself :-)

Robin, how do I do a friend request on facebook? I don't know your last name! hahaha I go by my full name on facebook: Kimberly Hoyt and my profile photo is the same one I use on my blog sidebar: me and hubby sitting by the creek.

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
