How does your garden grow?

We are finally seeing some progress in the garden. Yeah!

My tomatoes and green peppers are doing well and finally the carrots and squash are peeking through. ;)







The rhododendron is looking pretty and starting to blossom.


Oh and of course here is a pic of Superman and his Dog...

Recipe - Gluten Free Sloppy Joes

Dinner tonight for the hubs and I - GF sloppy joes, made from scratch (the canned stuff is GF too but I didn't have any)

INGREDIENTS

* 1 pound lean ground beef
* 1/4 cup chopped onion
* 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
* 3/4 cup ketchup
* 3 teaspoons brown sugar
* salt to taste
* ground black pepper to taste



DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, onion, and green pepper; drain off liquids.
2. Stir in the garlic powder, mustard, ketchup, and brown sugar; mix thoroughly. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


I serve it over rice, therefore making it fully GF.

Planting...

Got some plants in the ground today! Yeah! Finally can remove the seedlings from my counter in my kitchen.

We have four garden boxes. In one I planted three tomato plants. One has three green pepper plants. One has three rows of carrots and two 'mounds' of cucumber plants. The last has squash and sunflowers as an added bonus. :)

I transferred my hydrangea from where it was located, as that is now where the compost will reside and that's that for today. I still havne't planted my morning glories along my fence because it currently is housing some serious poison ivy, and well we know how well poison ivy and I get along...NOT WELL! I'm surprised I don't have it from looking at it. Shhhh the possibility is still there...

I need to catch up...

I've slacked on the blog. I think I got whacked with a bit of 'bummed' post op for the boys. I know it was a right decision, though Aiden's recovery was a bit tough. Lots of crying lots of pain and lots of hair pulling on my part (so much so I cut it off!) ;)

Anyhow I'll have to update later, as Mr. Conor has decided he's quiet angry for no apparent reason to anyone over three feet tall, so I have to go figure out his deal.

Oh an article to read - later...funny right?
