the remaking of a kitchen

i decided to do an update on the garden and the photos reflect how well things are doing. i planted the hydrangea last year and not much happened, but this year even though it's been so dry, there is a lovely pink bloom that is lasting quite satisfactorily. the veggies are doing well too. there are two kinds of cherry tomatoes, sweet 100's and juliettes and the two bushes are loaded. i have 3 peppers set on and you can see that FINALLY one is turning red. yay! i want to use it in a special chicken salad recipe i found this spring.

after seeing all the lovely california gardens i felt compelled to take a few shots of my little patches. i have some herbs growing, and some seeds planted for more herbs, like cilantro and basil. i have 3 tomato plants, 1 cherry and 2 early girls. i didn't follow the advice of my friend chauncey who always said you had the best luck if you planted early girls next to the big boys in the garden. hah! i plan to put some additional early girls by the fence we share with jordan and to try to onion sets there also. most of the flowers are in pots, but i still need to plant a few more pots and add some annuals to the two beds in the front yard.
our big deal today was getting the ducts cleaned.....an interesting process and thank goodness a short one. they were in and out of here in 45 minutes!
