Nursery Ideas

I see you all are more interested in baby stuff than you are our garden these days. ;)

Well, Jenny and I are about to kick off the decorating project. She might be getting tired of my emails with links to ideas I've seen so I'll share them all with you. I started putting together an "Idea Book" for the nursery. I'll get to that but first you should see the bedding we've picked out.

It's called Penelope and is from Pottery Barn Kids. I just love the birds and the fun girly colors! We are very thankful to Mark's company because they are paying for all of the bedding and a rug for the room. (He has earned points over the past year and cashed some in for PB gift cards.)

And here is a link to the start of my idea book.

I realize I can't use all of these ideas, so we'll have to pick the ones that go with our theme the best. I'm sure there will be more nursery ideas to come...

Veggie Patch

Our beans are good. They are very, very good. Avery confirmed it for me last night. After stopping by our Roche plot and picking our every-other-day-100-beans, we dropped by my brother's house to share the fruits of our labor. Avery was already in bed but yelled down, "Mommy who is it?" when she heard us come in. Jason said I could go up, so I did and Avery and I had a nice little chat. First she showed me what she had picked out to wear to school today. Then she asked me what I was doing there, so I said we were dropping off some of our green beans. She said, "Oh, well last time your beans were very, very good, Aunt Stephanie." Then she gave me a bear hug goodnight and I was on my merry way. :)

Also at our garden plot we have okra growing. I think the flower that forms before the okra is rather pretty. 

Beans, pre-picking.

One box of goodies. We've been harvesting a box like this about every other day. The beans are getting bigger every time we pick. I'm not sure how they grow so big in 2 days!  Next year we plan to plant even more green beans (the pole variety) so that we have enough to can for winter (Mom, I need your pressure cooker please.). This year we have just enjoyed sharing our bounty.
