An update for my mom and sister

I was talking to my mom and she was saying she would like to see pictures of my garden, tree, etc. since she hasn't been out here for awhile. Then I was talking to my sister and she had given me an idea for a craft and she told me to post it so she could see it. Sometimes I see all the stuff people do and I feel like I don't do anything nearly as fun or exciting, or crafty, etc. but I thought this would be an easy way to show them so that's what this post is all about. Hope you enjoy.

Some pics of the garden
That's my zucchini over in that pot

And if anyone could tell me what is wrong with my tomato plant that would be great!
Our little tree that everyone makes fun of b/c it is so small, but I still like it The topiary tree we recently bought and planted

Here are the craft idea Alisa gave me. I thought they turned out pretty cute. Also the flowers I got Alisa when I was there visiting you. The coloring is kind of weird from the lighting.

You'll have to tell me more about your garden! I keep putting it off because I didn't know how to do it but then I saw yours and thought that I might be able to try a box garden like that next year!

I love seeing all of those pictures of your crafts and gardening projects!

k-i'm so excited to see all of your new posts!! i love that topiary! and i need one!! i also love love love your wreath! um, i have no idea what's wrong with your plant, looks good to me! ask your mom. she's the wizard in the garden. i wish i had some talent there. and if you have tomatoes when we go to bear lake, can you bring me some??? i love them and i always steal your mom's private collection. she's sweet to offer but i know she doesn't want me to take ALL of them (though i would eat them all myself!)

Good job!!! You posted so much today and you posted really cute stuff. AND your craft/picture project things turned out awesome! I really like them and I like your flower thing in there too. I wish I could see them in person.

I could never invision how the box planter thing worked I didn't understand it was one big box with the separators. It looks really good. I can't even see something is wrong with your tomato plant in the picture but ask a nursery or research online or you will lose it and you don't want to lose all those large gorgeous tomatoes. I will have to talk to you on the phone to see if you have harvested anything yet. You are lucky you are so ahead of us!

The topiary on your porch is beautiful as is your wreath. That one was a surprise-- I didn't know you did that!

Your craft project looks like one I was going to do, but never found paper I liked enough. It looks like you had better luck. Maybe I will look around again b/c yours looks good

I wish I was as creative and talented as you, Erin! I barely planted to pumpkin seedlings that Simon brought home from kindergarten. Hopefully we'll get some tomatoes in this summer, too.
