Last week I planted some flowers and veggies in pots on my front porch. My yard is pretty shaded, but we get a lot of sun in the front. I had a couple tomato plants in my porch garden last year that did quite well. A little too well, actually, so I’m only growing one tomato plant this year. I’ve also planted cucumber and bell pepper.
The tomato and cucumber plants are still small, so not much to photograph. But I started with a larger pepper plant. It looks like we’ve already got one growing!
And for a little color, I added some flowers.
Out back, the hydrangeas are getting ready to bloom. We’re going to have a lot of flowers soon!
And finally, not in my garden but fitting my floral theme, check out my cute new shoes!

Running Update: I just got home from my ninth half marathon — the Zooma Half Marathon. I wasn’t expecting anything great since it’s pretty hilly, and it was raining for the first five or six miles …
But I got a new half marathon PR! 2:07:43 … my previous best goes all the way back to 2005, at 2:13:11. Wow. I feel great! I guess that speed training is working!
I love Gerber Daisies. Your pretty flowers are making me want to get a few for myself, the shoes are gorgeous too.
Great set and I like how you tie in the shoes! My favorite is the red flowers on the wood. The texture is great!
Beautiful flowers and matching shoes! Ana-Maria
My favorite is the fallen petals on the wooden space.
I love the daisy (red flowers)…I think thats what they are. Great job on the Half marathon PR! That is great for rainy conditions! Obviously the speed training is helping!
Congrats on the new PR!
Love the fallen flowers on wood planks photo – very nice.

It’s like a garden on your feet! So cute. I love the flower detail on the heel. Well done!
Very pretty. The colors are so bright and crisp.
Great job on the 1/2! You finished seconds before Roni did!

Congrats on the half! Below a 10 min pace is pretty awesome. You deserve the new shoes for that.
