Did you know that in a climate where there is rain and moisture plants can actually grow???
I have been pleasantly surprised by this news lately and am so happy to be growing things. I have potted 2 little orange trees to brighten up our dreary front porch…
and set up a happy home for the birds to come and visit…
and an indoor herb garden (taking the place of the dreamed about vegetable garden once I realized how much work growing vegetables actually is) herbs are much easier and just as lovely.
Plus I painted the pots,
after which Matt kindly asked me to step away from the spray paint can and the chalkboard paint brushes.
Okay I will admit, this is turning into an addiction quickly. EVERYTHING in our home has gone the way of the spray can and chalk labels. It is just too easy…
and too much fun…
PS. It looks like the home tour is going over the promised one month allotment. I still have quite a few posts to share with you in the coming weeks, hope you don’t mind my little extension:)

I love watching your house transform into a home!
Brilliant!
Are you growing basil too? LOVE basil. Last year I just threw a handful of seeds out in the backyard by the ‘desert hardy’ flowers and it grew like crazy.
Janice, that is so funny. The third pot in the back was supposed to be basil but sadly my plant died before it even made it to the pot:( I am going to buy another one and plant it instead- I completely agree with you that basil is amazing, glad yours is growing well:)
I’ve always wanted an herb garden (and recently got a wee one going, but my mint got eaten by the neighbors cats). Like the chalk label!
Love the chalk labels on the pots!! I have some old pots and some herbs I have been meaning to plant and now I have the inspiration!!!! YAY!
