Rooftop Garden
















So, we have this amazing roof top patio. It is tiled and enclosed and you get to it from a spiral staircase from our bedroom. We haven't really used it yet because there was nowhere to really sit up there. My brother Mike had a great idea to put a garden up there. So, today we officially started our rooftop garden. I now have this image in my head of a beautiful garden with a bistro table and chaise lounges ... but we'll see. I did find furniture and we got the tomatoes planted. We also planted jasmine plants on all of the balconies. It smells soooo good. But the kids loved to plant all the plants and they promise to water...we'll see. We'll keep you updated on our little oasis. I think it is going to be awesome, Ben and I got hot chocolate and quilts an hung out on the lounge chairs after all the kids were in bed. I have to say, I think it is my new favorite room :)

I think it's great to get everyones hand in the dirt. I'm a big fan:) It's so nice to have an out door space to get away to.

I am jealous - I want a rooftop garden, too. It is great that the whole family got in on the planting - fun!
