As my mother's daughter, I love gardening. Today's my mom's birthday, so I must brag on her. She is a wonderful gardener. She has an eye for what will be beautiful, plans ahead to make flower beds right, and her yard always looks amazing.
Last year about this time, my mom and I redid a large part of my backyard garden. Our house is in an older neighborhood and we have like 8 huge oak trees in the back yard. The people here before us did a great job on the gardens so for the first 2 years we lived in the house, we did our best to maintain! There are a ton of beautiful large leaf hydrangeas, mature bushes, perennials popping up everywhere...it is a beautiful yard...it's a big part of why we bought the house!
One part of the yard had kinda become a drainage area, so mom and I set about changing that. We built a huge 8x8 raised flower bed box, and installed some galvanized tin watering troughs for a few more raised beds.
And over the last few days, as I peruse the garden, I've noticed these
It's a pepper...
...and a tomato...
and a strawberry!!
