Tying the Knot!

On June 11th, 2010 in Duluth, MN, Nick finally popped the question! And of course my answer was yes! After eight years together we are finally getting married! Now begins the crazy adventure of planning a wedding!

Our baby chickadees!

As we were putting up our retaining wall we noticed a black capped chickadee flying in and out of a bird house we had sitting next to our back steps, waiting to be put up when we had more time. Nick went over and found baby chickadees who had just hatched!

It was so much fun to watch the mommy and daddy chickadee fly back and forth between the yard and the bird house with warms and other treats for their babies.

When they left the nest one of the babies got stuck behind some discarded fencing. Me and Nick spent the evening trying to help him learn to fly! We succeeded though and he finally made it to the bushes where the rest of his family was!

Garden: 2010

Here is a list of all of the plants we have in our garden this year! I tried to start my seeds early by hot housing them in a mini greenhouse. Some of them worked out great! The kohlrabi, corn, peas and beans worked great! After three tries I got the cucumber seedlings ready (I burnt the first two). None of my flowers worked either. The seedlings I did grow and trasnplant did great. I also bought all my tomatoes and peppers from my neighbors plant sale!

Here is the list:

Tomatos (apprx. eight different varieties)
Peppers (apprx. five different varieties)
Kohlrabi
Onions
Sweet Corn
Strawberries
Zucchini
Cucumbers
Peas
Beans
Pumpkins
Basil
Cilantro
Carrots
Raspberries
Rhubarb
Blackberries
Chives
Spearmint
Rosemary
Sage
Oregano



Mmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm! I cannot wait until everything starts to produce!
