I love to garden. Its good for my spirit and soul to be in the dirt, digging and making room for seeds to sprout. I love flowers, but I really enjoy growing herbs and veggies.
The only problem I have is that we have groundhogs. Quite a few of them, at that. So, my gardening the past few years has been limited to, well, nothing. This year, I decided to beat the little vermin at their game and bought (this nifty window box) to hang up so they couldnt get at my goods.
When my package arrived from UPS, I tore open the box in anticipation and read the instructions...
"Hire Professional for Installation"
So, I congratulated my husband on his new job, handed him two U bolts (or T bolts, or, some other letter of the alphabet) and let him have his way at the wall. Add Rosemary, Basil and a cherry tomato plant...and I have myself a little garden that the evil little groundhog empire can't get at.
I love it and may just get two more for the other windows, since I now have a professional installer :)
And, speaking of gardens, I had a photo shoot with a sweet young lady who is preparing for her first Holy Communion. I'm not ready to do a whole post for her sneak peek, but here is a little glimpse of the garden we found for her to run around in...
it was divine.Happy Tuesday!
Beautiful captures - I love your perspective.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely lovely! I adore your shots. Amazing. The green. The fence. The little girl. Pure loveliness!
ReplyDeleteI love your photos! So great that you finally found a way to outwit the groundhog. :)
ReplyDeleteI got some rosemary seeds which I've yet to plant... I'd almost forgotten if not for your post --so thanks! =)
Great job working around a sneaky groundhog. We have moles. ugh. Beautiful photos. That last one is stunning.
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet. I love my garden too. And my boy is doing his first Holy Communion this year too!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that window box. We just got our tomatoes and peppers out!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the top view of the plant pot!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of your gardening skills! I'm afraid I have a black thumb, but maybe I'll give the whole gardening thing another go when we buy a house down the road :) And I can't wait to see the rest of the communion photos!
ReplyDeleteLove that last photo! I'm planting my garden in window boxes hung over the porch rail this year, in hopes of harvest more for our family than the vermin eat.
ReplyDeleteThese are all such lovely photos! My favorite is the leaves over the fence.
ReplyDeleteI can only kill plants.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do not MEAN to kill them.
That little girl in the white dress on that lush green grass - - - speechless!
That looks like a very pretty dress. Like the rosemary plant... the smell of it must be absolutely refreshing.
ReplyDeleteLove your ivy macro!
ReplyDeleteI love gardening too. Have not had trouble with groundhogs... but my grandma does! Don't you love having a professional installer right there in your home! :) Beautiful First Communion shot. How wonderful for her to have amazing shots like that of her special day! Here from communal global today. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and perspective.
ReplyDeleteI remember my first communion and how excited and special that time was. I hope it will be as special for her.
I'm still learning about planting flowers. It's hard! pretty photos though!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love gardening and the first green shoots that emerge!
