Blank canvas.........

Last week I started with this blank canvas.......................



 

Some of the "paint" that I added to the canvas, tomatoes, zinnias, cosmos, peppers, cabbage, eggplant, onions, radishes, green beans, to name a few..........

 

 

 The garden after adding all the plants........

This is the tool that I use to keep the weeds at bay, I discovered it last year and love it, I try to do one area every few days.  I am sure this has been around for a long time, but last year was the first time I had ever seen it, maybe it is new to some of my fellow gardeners..........

 

The next big project is to start replacing the "chicken wire" fence around the garden area with something more attractive and permanent.  Just picked it up today and thought I would "preview" it to get the feel of what it will look like when it is finished, it is cedar so no painting and over time it will weather and have the "primitive look"!

 

Did a little baking this past weekend and used up some of the rhubarb that is growing so wonderfully in my garden.  It is a rhubarb cake that has sour cream and honey in it!  Yum! 

One of the cake ingredients reminds me of something exciting that will be joining my yard in the fall, care to take a guess??
