A Peek: Our Kitchen Garden

It’s the first thing I do when I wake up (ok, after kids and putting out fires) and walking through it, weeding, snipping things here and there just makes me feel at peace.

We found an old potting table and it’s made planting, cutting and washing so much easier.  Having a place to stash everything has made such a difference and I now can’t imagine the garden without it:

The garden’s full of flowers right now, including limelight hydrangeas, echinacea and English roses.  I’ve been loving cutting them and bringing in fresh bouquets.

The Asian cucumbers are possibly our favorite thing in the garden right now.  This one is over a foot and a half long and I even plucked it a little early!–

Anyway, I’m off for another crazy day, but I hope you enjoyed this peek into our garden.  We’re photographing our house next week and there’s still so much that needs to be done…   Curtains & artwork need to go up (and be framed!!) , hardware needs to be installed, things need to be painted, bedding and pillows are being made, and we have a couple more small construction projects to finish up with.  So many things need to fall in place in order for next week to happen and I’m really feeling the pressure.  We’re photographing it as early as we are because I want to have the photos happen when everything is in full bloom around here, which is now.  This morning I woke up sort of just wishing I could give up though. :/   (I think that’s mostly because I’m tired & sick and it’s Monday 😉 😉

I think I need to take one more little walk through the garden this morning.
Have a good one!!
