<\/a>This is our second summer at the “Button Hill” (our house is on a small hill).\u00a0 We named it after Keith’s grandparent’s house in England called the “Buttonwood” (not in a small wood). Haha.\u00a0 I love how English homes have names and how they are part of their official address so we decided to adopt the idea.<\/p>\n
I have a small garden out back that is about 10′ x 15′.\u00a0 Half of it has been taken over by the zucchini plant.\u00a0 There are\u00a0 some herbs (oregano, chives, rosemary, parsley, & basil).\u00a0 One corner has rhubarb and the rest are peppers, tomatoes, and eggplant.\u00a0 Next to the garden plot are some grapevines that were planted by previous owners of the house Jennie & Ryan.\u00a0 They didn’t yield any fruit last year but they are fruiting like mad this year.\u00a0 I’m so excited!\u00a0 Bordering the other side of the garden are some red-orange hued daililies.\u00a0 They are supposed to be edible and taste like creamy sweet onions but I have not tried them yet.\u00a0 We also have a huge apple tree that’s about 40 ft. tall.\u00a0 Sounds kinda nice until fall comes around and we have to pick up the fallen smelly rotten fruit!\u00a0 Ollie (our Tibetan Terrier Poodle) especially loves to eat them.\u00a0 Oh well, everything has a bad side.<\/p>\n
I don’t have a picture of the entire garden\/backyard because it looks like a jungle but here are some up close snapshots : )<\/p>\n
