Garden Update - We have flowers...

Yay! There are flowers on my veggie plants! Praying that the flowers will bud and we'll get at least a few tomatoes, and maaaaybe some bell peppers (not pictured).

My Tomato Plant have flowers!! A few but the yellow flowers are there!

A few Jalapeño Peppers left on the tree - I already picked 3 off that day. 

My Star Jasmine finally bloomed flowers!! :-) 

My Eggplant with no flowers. :-(

I have to say my bell pepper plants were looking pretty good until the hail and a ton of rain was dumped on the plants. :-( I loved the hail and rain, my plants did not. The bells are super droopy right now. I might give it some epsom salt and see if that helps.

Also, dilute your fish fertilizer in water - don't just dump it on the soil and water it. oops. I think the rain washed it all out anyway.

Cucumber update: we only got one cuc this year. I feel more equipped for next year, but wished more grew this year...

I'll have to take a picture of all the plants that didn't make it this year. Also, to not START at the beginning of JULY. UGH.

Happy mid-September!! It's football season! and the final games of Angels baseball is winding down. Hoping for a miracle, buuuuttt it's a long shot. o_O

Hoping to don my boots next week!! Praying more cooler weather. :O)

Disney Gardening

Disney never ceases to amaze me. This is one of the reasons why I want to go to Disney World. They have a International Flower & Garden Festival

Check out this tomato plant!! It produces over a 1,000 tomatoes from a single vine.

Now, seriously, can you imagine having Mickey Watermelons??

And the cute fairy in the Pixie Hollow.

I hope to have a gardening update soon... Happy Gardening!

Coupon Savvy

K, so I've been trying to make an effort to use coupons more and be more fiscally responsible.
Today, trying to be all coupon savvy... I get to the register at Costco, coupons in hand, and before I even get to hand them over with glee -- with over $9 in savings -- the cashier, starts to say something about the coupons. I don't even hear what he says, because at very same moment I look at the coupons that say "VALID FROM AUG 18 - whatever end date" NOOooooo..... I ask with kind eyes, "Could they please work today? Wait, isn't it like a day or two away?" his reply, "Tomorrow. And as the saying goes 'A Day late and a dollar short.'"
I guess I'm going back tomorrow.
Fact: it was my most efficient, fastest, and least crowded Costco Visit - ever. I don't know if I can strike Costco gold like this again... le sigh ...

Another to file away...

Yes, here is another beautiful item to file under - for when I get a house.

Kitchenette
I found this from House of Blessings Blog

The craftsmanship is amazing and lovely!!
As JO would say, "I want it."

That's all for now. :-)
