Artichoke Time!

I didn't think I'd get artichokes off these new plants, but each of them are producing many! So far we've harvested three types of squash, cucumbers, cilantro, potatoes (red and yellow), green beans, peas, and onions. The tomatoes are mostly still green but this morning we got our first little red one. Yeah! Soon we'll be having lots of salsa...yum, yum. :)

And Finally....The Completed Path!

Sorry about taking the picture in the evening. I spent a long time cleaning things off with the hose and by the time I got around to the picture, it was getting dark. But finally my little brick path is done. Now we can start the wall on the other side and all those beautiful little brick pillars! I'm telling you....it's never ending. :)

The Beginning of the Brick Path....

It all started here coming off the patio. It only took a few days and then finally the whole path was finished. Yeah!!!

The Second "Step" ....

The steps went in second....wow....they sure looked beautiful to me!

The Gazebo

Wow, it really made a difference to be enclosed. We're having so much fun eating breakfast on the patio. And yes, those are real flowers.

A little more progress on the garage...

Yeah...we've made at least a little more progress on the garage. I had to take the plans back in and have them revised, however...so it's back to waiting! That's okay...I'm back on the backyard again!

Fixing Up the Backyard....Still! :)

Here's the motley crew of fellows that are helping me to fix the backyard up. They've been lifesavers .... believe me! Thanks guys!
