My brown thumb might be turning green

The destruction of the weeds in my backyard is all I can think of lately, they are driving me insane! I was tempted to use a ground clearing product that kills everything but could not think of having to wait over a year to replant so im doing baby steps. I have tried two products so far, one is a weed and grass killer and the other was a weed killer that attaches to a garden hose… if that doesn’t work I will try the weed killer attached to my garden hose again and then I will probably have to get on my hands and knees and yank every last weed from my lawn, which will be quite painful since the weeds I have are the kind with thorns all over.

I am growing my little indoor garden and am a very proud plant mama, is that weird? I mean, I talk to my little plants and pet there little leaves… that does make me weird right? Anyways the pinto bean is growing fast and since he happened on accident I sorta went out and got some other seeds to grow. Lets see, I bought a little strawberry kit, a sweet peppers kit and then two different kinds of tomato seed packets. I planted the peppers and the strawberries, the strawberries had a couple of accidents (my daughter will eat anything) but a few did manage to survive. I got a couple of pictures I took of all of their progress about a week ago, I would have taken newer ones but I forgot to charge my camera (oops) so they are a little bigger than pictured now, but at least I tried lol.

My pinto bean got big, very quickly!

My little strawberry plants look so sad... but at least there alive!

I think I'm going to have a lot of pepper's

I have a pot all ready for one of my tomato seed packets, the other one I do not have a pot for yet, but I plan on reusing one of the pots I have again once I transfer them into my back yard (if i can get a planter box) I have a huge problem with pilbugs, snails and every other kind of bug known to man it seems… not to mention those evil little weeds that cause me never-ending grief, so I need to deal with all these issues before even transferring my plants.

Today we had a new dishwasher installed and I am absolutely in love with it… not just because its pretty but also because it has some mean skills. I put a bunch of dishes and pans in it from dinner and even the baked on grime was gone when it was finished, that was impressive. We probably would not have gotten a new dishwasher had the old one worked somewhat but sadly it did not so we have been doing the dishes the old-fashioned way… not any more!.. well, within reason that is. Some of my pots and pans cannot be put in the dishwasher, but I don’t mind, the bulk of stuff will be taken care of at least!

My new and improved super sexy dishwasher... oh ya, hot!

I am in no hurry for summertime weather but the rain has been a little annoying, I was going to barbeque for Easter but now im going to have to just make a ham because I do not want to be stuck outside cooking (or my husband I should say) getting drenched by some unforseen rain cloud. That’s okay though, it will still be a lovely day spent with my family no matter what.
