I thought I'd share with you the best part of my house: the plants! And I'm not talking pecan and pine trees, but the peach tree that's bearing fruit right now as well as my tomato plants, cucumber vine, herbs, pepper plants and the bunches of flowering plants that I was completely unaware of when I bought the house. I'll start by showing off my produce that I've planted:
Look at these cucumbers!
One of my tomato plants...
...followed by the tomatoes they've produced!
And the apple of my eye, my peach tree with pics of the peaches:
Oh yeah, my pepper plants too:
Not to sound like a total cheeseball but these plants have brought me more joy and satisfaction than I would ever have thought. It's so great planting something and watching it grow and then getting to eat the fruits of your labor...literally!
You also have to see these beautiful flowers that the previous owner of my house planted. I had no idea that they were there, or that they could produce such gorgeous flowers! My favorite at the moment is probably the orange tropical flower which evidentally is called a "Giant Canna 'Pretoria'":
But I'm especially partial to the Oleander.
When I was 15, I was invited to vacation on the Turkish coast with a friend and it was maybe the best trip I've taken. If not the best, definitely in the top 3...but one thing I remember so vividly about that trip were the Oleander plants and the Bougainvillea plants. The Oleander blossoms smell vaguely of marshmallows and the petals are incredibly soft. It's a beautiful plant.
