Our Garden
This lens is to share the garden with you. This is the first garden we have grown. It is great to have your own organically grown vegetables and herbs. It saves you money at the grocery store, plus they are alot more delicious not to mention fresher than anything you will get in the store.
Here is a picture of some of our tomatoes

These came from our garden 

Here are some green onions amongst other delicious and nutritous goodies.
Contents at a Glance
Chicken and eggs
Chickens and eggs
We also have three chickens. My sister in law
bought these for us. She is a very cool person and is filled with generosity and love.
We are hoping for some eggs. It is nice to know we won't be putting hormones in our body that you get with most chicken and their eggs now days in stores unless you buy the ones saying No Hormones.
Here are our chickens walking around


Here are the chickens when they were babies

Here is a picture I took the other day of our chicken going into their coop. 
We got our first egg!

Here are some tomatoes. We have so many! I will put pictures of food on here as we make them also so you can see them when they are cooked.

Tomato ripening

Finally our tomatoes are turning red in this batch

They are much sweeter than store bought tomatoes. This is our first time growing a garden. We are loving it!


Square Foot Gardening
Square foot gardening is when it is built above the ground
Here it is when we first got it going. As you can see you don't need alot of room to grow a garden.

It is based on information from this guy
Square Foot Gardening

These are red peppers, but you can pick them while they are green and eat them that way as well.

Welcome to the meadow
Welcome to the Meadow
One of my sister in laws has a farm, the other, a meadow.
Welcome to the meadow


It is so beautiful in the meadow. A serenity enters your soul when you come to this enchanted place of beauty.

A place to rejuvenate and reconnect to nature and yourself.

Take in the beauty and peaceful aura of the pond in the meadow.

The paths are lined with lilac which emits the most heavenly fragrance.

Apples and acorn squash
My mother in law has an apple tree. Here are some of the many apples she brought us. We made two apples pies out of them and still had plenty left over after making the pies.

Here is the apple pie before going into the oven.

Here is the pie once it was done.

- The garden and the meadow both look wonderful. 5***** for a great lens. I love gardening, haven't had a garden of my own to grow veggies for a few years though. It used to be so nice watching everything grow - and then eating it! The apple pie looks good too :)
