The Garden is blooming

I am really starting to love gardening! I can't wait for a bigger one next year! This was my second cucumber to eat and I see many blooms and many baby cucumbers growing. :) I also have some great Kale getting big! :) YUM!

Earlier this summer I found a ton of old white vases from several years ago when they were the in thing. So I thought I would use these if I could add some color. A few minutes later after some fun with spray paint I know have 9 in my house with my garden flowers in them. :) I LOVE THEM!

Look how pretty they are... these roses I did not grow my husband gave them to me. The window ledge holds 6 of my vases and makes it look so welcoming and fun in my kitchen.
