I bought my grandparents home in 2005 after they both passed away. The backyard was mostly grass and a few mature trees. Over the years, I've planted perennials, evergreens and flowers. Soon after, I started a small summer vegetable garden where my grandfather had planted his garden years before. Thus the name Fats Green Garden, my grandfathers initials.

I'm finally back after a long winter of waiting to get back in the garden! I'm also 9 months pregnant now, but it hasn't stopped me from planting all our seedlings for this years garden :)

Most I see are this color or similar, but I've NEVER seen one this big! It looked like a mini snake! |

You have a green thumb and also a gardener's eye--I love all your close ups of plants and animals in the garden. |

I love the photos too! Sad to read that this cutie goggles up your flowers - that would drive me insane. Do you do anything to get rid of them (except for scaring the poop out of them)? |

Grilling beans in foil like this makes for easy cleanup! We also add corn on the cob and potatoes to the mix using the same method- boil, grill, serve! |

Neat in every way. Here's another way. Steam the beans to almost tender. Then flip them in a hot pan a few times to blister the skin and finish the cooking. They come out tender and roasty. And slightly dry, instead of soggy, as are boiled beans. |
