garden update

^^see that tiny green speck? That's our first little sprout of rosemary! 

I think I'm most excited about the rosemary plant. mmm....^^

Our little garden is growing! It seriously makes me so happy. I can't believe how well it's doing. We aren't exactly green thumb people, but I'd like to be someday. And this is giving me hope. If you remember last month we planted some cilantro and basil. They were doing so well that when we bought pots for transplanting them we got some other seeds as well. 

We now have cilantro, basil, oregano, rosemary and chives. On Sunday I put some green onion bulbs(? is that the right term? I'm telling ya I know nothing about this gardening stuff.) anyway, put them in some water because I'd seen on pinterest they continue to grow in just water. Well Jeremy thought I was crazy so he made me plant one in dirt too, and booya, my water ones are growing faster :) 

We also have three plants outside thanks to a friend in the ward. She gave us a thyme, sage and tomato plants which are also doing well. Jeremy and I have been talking a lot about what we see in a garden someday. You know, the kind you put in your yard not in pots. I'd love to have a greenhouse with lots of flowers, but I suppose... the food plants are the ones we'll tackle first. That's all a long ways away, though. So for now we're enjoying our happy little garden windowsill. 

FINALLY - Pictures of Our Wymount Apartment

Sorry guys - it really has been too long.  I should have posted pictures of our apartment months ago, but better late than never, right? :) I also need to post a picture of my belly... I'll get on that...eventually....

{Captions are below pictures}

This is the view of the kitchen when you first walk in

Sink and fridge

Our teeny-tiny oven.  But its ok, because its gas! And we have so many cupboards!

Pantry - didn't have one of these before! 

{Excuse the clutter....}

Look our microwave isn't on top of our fridge! 

{It was in our last apartment for lack of a better place - now its really low but at least its safer!}

Kitchen table - sorry its such a bad quality picture.  My nice camera's battery is dead.... 

Not actually part of our apartment, but a fun

 flower arrangement I made this week in my floral design class.

The view from our big open window

{I LOVE  this window! Such a big difference from our last apartment}

Living room - we can only have 4 holes in each wall and if there are already holes you can't put new ones in, so our pictures are where they are due to that. But it could be worse!

Our balcony - sorry its hard to get a wide shot of it, it really is quite big though!

This is what you see when you walk in just to the right of the kitchen.

View from the couch. This is looking at the tv/front door.

Our oh so glorious bathroom haha Lets just say when we moved in before all our stuff made it look lived in, this bathroom could have belonged to a jail cell....

Notice how the shower curtain rod is horizontal!

{It was diagonal in our last apartment and the ceiling wasn't that high...}

Sorry its really dark, but here is looking into our bedroom. 

And our HUGE closet! WOW!!! lol 

{Again, this is comparing to our last apartment...}

Just for fun, if you like you can compare to our last apartment here. Maybe understand why I'm so in love with this cinder-block home :)

And so we don't end with a picture of my closet, here's another picture of my flowers

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday! My teacher for my 5:00 class just cancelled and I couldn't be happier to spend the evening home with my hubby :)
