What a nice day! I gardened!

Woot!

It was so nice today, I was able to put down some of our rosemary and lavender bushes that we had in pots from our apartment. I cant wait to see how big they get now that they're allowed to grow free. We also took advantage of the sun to plant some bulbs and herbs. 

I'm a novice at the gardening thing, but I like it! It was hard work too, and it felt good to zonk out on the couch afterwards

Fun!  My parents brought me a huuuuuuge rosemary plant (several medium sized plants in a huge planter) when they visited in August.  I love going out to cut off a sprig to use when cooking because it smells so good.  : )  I have garden envy.  I wish we had room here to do that.

Yeah, we've lived in matchbox apartments for so long, we just dont know what to do with ourselves and all this space! Its so much fun! And i loooove the way fresh rosemary smells.

I love the smell of rosemary too.  I just want to stick my nose down into the plants and sniff whenever I go out onto the deck.  However, I caught my favorite young squirrel cuddling up for a short nap in the plants, so I resist. 

I was so desperate for plants and home grown herbs that I requested (and received!) an aerogarden last year for Christmas.  That's as good as I'm going to get for awhile, I'm afraid!

I'm super jealous! I LOVED the last house we lived in when we were in San Diego because of our backyard. I loved getting a chance to prune roses, plant flowers and veggies, and I even liked the satisfaction of weeding! (which i despised as a kid). That's awesome you have a chance to do that!!
