It's been about a year since we got started building

It's been about a year since we got started building our Irish cottage in earnest. It's not finished yet (mostly sheetrock finishing to be completed) but it's livable and we love being in it. Here is a picture of the house with the stucco and texture before we painted it last Friday:We're not quite finished painting the stucco (for waterproofing as well as appearance) but here's how it looks now (note that we are beginning to clean up the construction mess)... oh, Ben Williams won't finish stuccoing the window trim until next week so the trim around the windows hasn't been painted yet:A front stoop and flower beds go in next along with three trellises for the Confederate Star Jasmine to climb up the front wall. We decided to use the Confederate Star Jasmine instead of climbing roses because it grows faster.
Alexis is busy putting in her "square foot garden." So far she's planted Kentucky Wonder green beans, Blue Lake green beans, Texas 1015 onions (Alexis is quick to remind me that the Texas 1015 is the granddaddy of the more famous Georgia Vidalia onion... guess the Vidalia's have a better PR person?), heirloom tomatoes & numerous herbs. Note the tomato plant hanging upside down from the tree... we tried growing two tomatoes like that last year to no avail... maybe we'll master the secret this year. Now don't get me wrong... I completely enjoyed the tomatoes that we successfully grew last year in spite of the fact they cost $57.13 each.
I moved her beds last week so they would receive more direct sun. Tomorrow I'm going to build her four more beds.Here's a video on the square foot garden growing system:

Hopefully our square foot garden will do as well as hers.
