So our first attempt at gardening was actually pretty successful.  We started off with a few basics, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.  We made tomato and cucumber salads and cucumbers were a pretty common snackaroo for a few months.

In a post from maybe June, I mentioned wanting to use rubber mulch in part of our yard and I’ve included a photo of the mulch and the seven shrubs we planted.  It looks pretty good, but those dang leaves that keep falling from the trees are driving me crazy.  I keep wanting to pick them out of the mulch.

Anywho, the weather has definitely cooled down and everything is slowly withering and going into hibernation, but we’re prepping for next spring.  We’ll start early and plant o’ plenty.

Here’s a hint at an upcoming post — Check out that way cool interior door that was being used as an exterior door.  You can’t see it from this photo, but the door frame is sorta pieced together, the door is cracked, and there’s a space for a transom window that has been boarded over.  These are all qualities you want in a door when the temperature has already dropped down below freezing. . . Stay tuned for the seriously awesome update on that stuffs.
