Garden Update 4

Busy..Busy..Busy. Our Peas are really growing and starting to cling to everything it touches. yikes I used pencils as a temporary set to keep them growing straight. We planted some more plants Mint, Lavender, a Sweet Salad Mix and Cucumbers. YUM! I can't wait in til everything is starts to grow. Today was a gardening day, in the front Rodney and I fixed some of the plants in the front re~lining them and also put some more mulch in the bed. Also put some weed & feed out in the front lawn. I had no idea its so much Work trying to keep grass growing. I'm having so much fun gardening. In the pictures above are of our puppy's Wyatt has the red bandanna and Tyson w/out one aren't they cute. They are both enjoying the backyard and the grass that is finally growing.

Garden/Backyard Progress 3

This weekend was a working weekend for us. Sunday we did actually mowed the lawn and hung-out in the backyard a little bit. I attempted to fly a kit but I did not go so well. Our grass has really improved a lot, still got patches in the yard but its slowly progressing. I think it might need to be seeded at least one more time. As for the front of our yard. We need to do some work and will post pictures later on.
Garden its really growing. I don't understand why not everything is grow and its taking a really long time to grow or maybe I'm in patient but somethings are growing.

Earth Day

I know, I haven't really contribute to helping the planet a better place by using less energy and using less paper cups. But this pass month has been a expectation and also our new house has played a big role of us being more GREEN. here's how we contribute:

• Cleaning up after our dogs ( did you know that dog poop is bad for the environment)
• Using reusable water bottle
• Maintain a garden
• Turning off the lights when not in the rooms
• reusing plastic items such as milk jugs,yogurt cups, plastic bags
• energy saving light bulbs

theses things are just a couples of things, we try to do to make the world a better place.

Garden Update # 2

Backyard Progress

We have been watering the backyard everyday and I can see lots of process. We have a lot of sprouted new grass coming up Check it Out...

Backyard April 18,2010



Garden

This is what is planted in our garden
Cilantro, Green Beans, Dill, Roman Lettuce, Tomato, Carrots, Jalapeno, Peas, Okra,Watermelon, and Strawberry's
Above the plants has sprouted but not all has sprouted yet in the garden its just some plants started growing more than others. I'm thinking of planting more lettuce since its been a while and it has not sprouted yet. I think everything is going well, we have some good progress with the backyard. I've been shopping around for lawn chairs and tables so be able to go outside with our doggy's and enjoy our outdoor living space. The progress has really grown considering the weather and I'm really excited once its all complete.

Today was great and wish everyday can be like today. I had a wonderful time with mom. We did some window shopping and also some grocery shopping. I figured out that I'm really a fan of Garden Ridge more than anyother home decor store. Hopefully later on this week I can get some updated pictures of our garden and the backyard. Today it actually rained a couple of drops nothing to brag about but it saves us from watering so much. In our backyard we (Rodney and I ) spread some compost on the ground and vermiculite to maybe help boost the growing process. I can only keep my fingers crossed. Theres not too much of a change with growing process other than I can't come to understand why our lettce isnt growing yet..hopefully We'll be able to plant some more tommrrow.

Finally someone has moved in the house beside us, I don't know if we should be excited or not. I have been compulating giving them a welcome to the Neighorhood candy bag or something to be nice. Thinking about we just recently moved into our home..we practically didnt getting any cookies or brownies "welcome anything" well now to think about it we got a popicle and Rodney got a budlight beer. LOL

800,000 Americans do not..

According to a Yahoo article I read that many as 800,000 Americans have "cut the cord" meaning they do not pay for cable TV losing their $130 dollar cable bill a month and saving of $1,500 yearly. We are one of the households that have "cut the cord" and I'm proud to say. We are a member of Netflix and watch movies online instanly on our TV as well watching TV antenna. I have really notice a diffence, now we don't feel obligate to watch TV because we are paying for it at a steep price. We get more done not watching as much tv such walking our dogs,cooking home cooked meals, more engergtic and focus more on yard work and gardening. I've also noticed a big diffence in our pocket book insead of paying $130 we putting that money aside for a vaction and things we want. I know must people would say they would never get rid of their cable. I really don't understand why. We are much more happier.
