Lychee

So I picked up a new softdrink from Superstore the other day, it's a new Lychee flavoured drink. It's awesome.. love it!!!! It's tastes almost the same as the fruit itself too. It would be pretty yummy mixed for a cocktail, give it a try if U happen to see it in store, it's a nice new fresh flavour for SUMMER!!!! Yes I said summer, if it ever decides to come and stay around. I think it will be a drink @ my next Party :)

Juice & Honey

Love my Tulips this Spring....

Veggie Boxes are READY

Finally after back breaking work, lugging rocks, wood and soil the veggie boxes are in and set out with seeds yesterday. Now with a little love, some sunshine (fingers crossed) and a little rain we'll have fresh salads and veggies all summer!!!! I'm so excited. Here's a new picture of the yard, the Privacy wall and new flower box by the patio.

Ruff Life

Here is a pic Cocoa... she has a really rough life!! Loves to stretch on the sofa with my blanket..lol.

Garden Progress

So we have started the backyard finally, we will be putting in raised veggie beds, rock garden, privacy wall and wildflowers should be a lot of work. If the budget allows maybe a stone terrace as well.

Environmentally Friendly

So most of us want to be as kind to the Environment as we can, I've found an organic all natural fertilizer and pesticide all in one. It was on the advice of a friend who already uses it. It's from a company in Ontario. Check it out... a little expensive but it's concentrated so it will last a really long time. It's made with Pine-extract and Molasses!!!

It's Been a while!!!!

So it's been forever since I blogged anything. Between work, family visits, parties, gardening and everything else it's been a nightmare and I don't have any kids.... I can't even imagine. So Spring is here, but it's starting to feel a little more like summer each day. I've been busy in the garden in my spare time (which is rare), we are finishing the backyard this year. Putting in a vegetable/ flower garden which will be pretty cool when it's done. Right now in my office at home there are trays of seedlings just waiting for the garden to be finished.. tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, zunchini and many seeds to be sowed... lettuce, radish, beans, carrots, beets, the list goes on and on. We are very excited to grow some of our veggies at home this year and know exactly where they came from :) Some pics to follow soon of spring flowers, and garden progress!!!! Here's one of my tulips that should bloom orange and yellow called "Juicy".
